A brother of one of the guys that works at the place where I get my tires has these on his truck and has well over 60K on them and they are still going strong. I have been going to this place for all of my tires for the last 23 years and they have never steered me wrong. Also I do not believe that there is a Kelly dealer in the area.

Oh and the place that I use has FREE flat repair for as long as you own the tire. I just had them fix one about 6 weeks ago and it ended up being a bead leak. So they dismounted the tire, cleaned the rim and bead up and remounted for no charge. That is service in my book.

Bill, just to give you an idea of how stupid expensive tires have gotten. I currently have Copper Discoverer ATR's on in a LT format. When I bought them 4 1/2 years ago, I paid around $132 a piece. I got a price on them back in November before the import charge went into effect and those same tires would have ran me $195 a piece

I did not even bother pricing them in either a LT or P format.

Yikes Neil! That's a crazy jump in price for the same exact tire. I haven't started pricing mine yet...so that should prove interesting.

Evening Kathy..

Yeah that was my thought.

I see that the Flyers are up 1-0 after 1.
