Try Reece's in Summerville. If they can get 'em, you won't find 'em any cheaper anywhere.

I have a set of Riviera Wheels that have 3 - 60% 165 R 15 tires on them.
If you'll pay to have them and the 4th tire that is chewed up removed you can have them.
How's that for a price. It'll cost you around $25 and you'll have some tires that'll last a while (3).

I'll bring the tires one day this week or next and we can meet at the Walmart and have them removed.  They might even remount them for you if you have the dough.
I will not let you keep the wheels though.  They would double the value of stupie...
LOL.

ASbug,   At first I thought you Had Buick Riviera wheels,  Which would look Awesome!  I got some round looking rims I use to grow mosquitos in. I can stick them on.  I live about 3 miles from Walmart.
 I often walk there,  to get more beer  ,  when My keys disappear.
 Was that last sentence a Hiaku?   SC

Call a day ahead and tell him what you want. If he doesn't have it in stock today, if he can get it at all, he can probably have it tomorrow.  For a little mom and pop operation in a hole in the wall garage, this guy sells an unbelievable amount of tires.  I've met folks from as far away as Atlanta, Knoxville and Nashville getting tires there.  The only down side to getting tires at Reeces' is you WILL wait in line.  I don't care what day of the week or time of day you go, plan on waiting in line.  Guess that what happens when you have great prices and back it up with friendly service.
