Default Barnum tires

I was driving our limited roadster yesterday and started hearing tire tread slapping the underside of the car. I was about a mile from a Discount Tire so I limped in to see about new tires.The ones on the car were about used up anyway. I was quoted over nine hundred dollars for Barums and was told the widest width they made for the rear was 245. If I would pass on the road hazard the price dropped into the $800 range. Left the car in the parking lot, had my wife pick me up and went home to check price online. Discount’s web site showed the right sizes and came in at $300 something. Printed it out, went back to the store and wound up at $438 out the door. Why does everything have to be so hard?

tried to edit the thread title but can’t. They are really not circus tires.
