    I can't remember pricing very well, but that sounds pretty close, just make a note and start comparing prices, be sure to write it down, after you have looked for a week or so it is hard to remember who had what for how much, you will be surprised at the difference in pricing wround the country, but I do remember that after the truckstops get their yearly shipment in it is usually hard to get a good price until they want to clean out inventory after the season is over, but now is the best time o buy.

    When it gets closer to winter check craigslist in your area, I know out here in Co there's always some for sale on there.

    Don't forget to pick up some bungies to tighten your chains up. They get in real short supply once folks start throwing iron.

    I bought two sets from Les Schwab in Wells, NV off I80 this past winter. There prices were the best of any I saw. I did have to go to a different store to get ones to fit my trailer tires but that was along the way on I80.

    Jubitz has good prices also and no sales tax, only 14 miles from ridgefield, and Orting is a logging town might have good luck their as well
