Do you have a discount or an American tire in your area? I just looked on their website and they have 235/60/15 and 275/60/15 shown in stock or can be in stock in 2-5 business days

Tire Rack is usually very competitive: (But yes it looks like they are out of stock, didn't see that at first as they still show a delivery date)

Out of stock. Slow boat from China.....
Be careful if you do find some that may be 4-6 years old. I bought 2 245/60/15 Cobra's from Discount. 1 was 4 months old,the other 6 years !!!

i bought a set of cheapo ironman 225/70x15's for some 15x7 torque thrust i had laying around this week. haven't had much of a chance to take a long drive due to the weather but they seem to be ok with short drives.

Some of the cheap tires are pretty impressive. I have Ohtsu on my Datsun 280zx, I’ve driven the car like it’s meant to be driven, and it has no complaints, even wet weather isn’t a problem

cheapo ironman
Ironman is a Hercules brand that is owned by Cooper. I have used 6 sets on projects and really like them.
Not very cheap,I bought 2 235/75/15 a day ago and they were $101 each.
2 years ago I bought the same size for $67. Everything is going up up !

compared to the cooper cobras i wanted they're cheap. local dealer wanted $800 for four cobras mount/balance; ironman $540. and yes, prices have gone stupid.

No listing for michelin 15" tires at Costco, only BFG. You should be able to find,or order, Cobras almost anywhere.

I bought tires for my Ram 2500 diesel there. They had a better price than tire rack and you can have them mount them. Set up the appointment online when you order them.
