Paid $244 for two Avon Venoms fr Eastern performance an Indy charged me $20.00 for his half hr. I can buy a lot of brewskies or chrome for the difference. So far I love the Avons but only have 800 miles on them.

Yes, that's high...but you are in California. It should not cost more than 200 bucks for a rear tire installed. I was in your town not too long ago. My BIL lives there...right down the street from Bob Mazzolini's shop. If you like badass mopars, check out his shop. He has built and builds wicked motors for many very quick drag cars. He has a wall of pictures behind his desk of a bunch of them.
My son just sold his 67 Coronet to buy a Harley. It was a bitter sweet condition... we spent alot of hours together building that car. But we are anticipating some good times riding together. Oh yeah! I drive a 67 Dart GT. Hijacked my own thread. Wish I could find a $200.00 deal like that . I've been getting prices on the tire all by it's self for $193.00.

The tire can be purchased (mail order) for $130-$140 including shipping, and no sales tax. The rest is additional profit on the tire, labor, and profit on labor that dealers charge. If you want to save a *lot* of money, have someone show you how to change it yourself.
