Re: Front pads & rotors replaced- spongy weak brakes in 97 evc

Re: Nokian Entyre 2.0 Availability
Rick, that is a great price on these tires. They appear to be out of
production now and out of stock at Walmart.com. I just bought them for $112

Had an interesting experience looking for these tires in size 225/60 with a load rating of 102.? Nokian lists them on their website and listed several dealers in my local area (Sacramento, CA).?

Thanks, everyone for the replies! I think the 2000 part (#021 129 101D) is
