It is an automatic. Around town I don't notice a difference at all in the performance. At highway speed there is a noticable drop in power around 60 mph. It just has to work harder to maintain it's speed. I got the tires from a friend who runs a small tire shop in Dunlap, TN. He has great prices because he has no overhead and has been in business for a long time, but he doesn't do shipping. All prices unclude mounting and balancing.

I have seen prices for about 280-290 per mounted and balanced. That would be a 500 savings...only 2 1/2 hours each way drive. Could you pass along a phone number to this place?

(423) 949-3831. Ask for Barry (He is off today though). If you are going to go with the Hankooks, the 315/70-17 is significantly less expensive than the 35x12.50-17, although they are only .2" smaller. The 315 is an 8-ply, the 35 is 10-ply. He will probably have to call for prices, but he can get just about any tire you want within 2 days.
