what does a pretty penny translate into $$$'s?   

Thanks Mike, but unless it's a tire I could rotate in, (which I can't really do since they're directional / 35x12.5x15 Pro-crap Xterrains),  I don't really need anything other than something with like 50% give or take, and something that can get me home on the highway. 

I may stop by anyway, since I got Rocky's old 4.3/700R4 recently installed.  Took her on her maiden voyage down to Surf n' Turf at Pismo back in early Nov!

Mmmm power...
