Score! After stops at four tire shops and turning up empty it was suggested that I check the local metal recycler as they had used tires. What? Why? They recycle cars for the steel and sell good used tires on the side. I got four mounted and balanced for $140. Yeah! Les Schwab wanted $189 for one new one. The tire shops state that by the time people buy new tires to replace their 15" tires they are well worn and can't be resold.
