Is it an OEM tire or a replacement set? I ask becuase my local tire dealer always gives a prorated discount for replacements, depending on the mileage.

Its a replacement, but the same make and model of the OEM. I actually had a blowout in the sidewall about 2 mos ago and had to replace that tire. This time they were able to patch it.

Which dealer do you go to Steve? thanks.
