Hi, am looking for a pair of 7.5X15 Bias Ply Tires. E or F rating for my travel trailer. I still have the original 1954 Dayton 10 Ply tires on mine.  Any ideas for a cost effective source? Local shop can get them for $95 a tire. Thanks...

John

oh yeah...
you can get them locally usually in a day or two at most...
If you have trouble getting them around waldorf try Hicks Tire in Fredericksburg VA

Tom, Hick's tire was very helpful...1 day service at $97 per tire mounted...not bad. Thanks a bunch.

Just in case anyone else is finding it difficult to find these beauties and missed my post:

Colony Tires has new STA 7.50x17 Bias, load D, for 118 bucks a tire.  The price includes mounting, new inner tubes, and new "flaps" (rim boots).  Balancing is extra.
