[AT] NAA tire

[Dave Merchant]

No stock around here, I found several options to get one locally tomorrow 
afternoon, ordered a Titan.

Dealer will mount it, one less thing I have to do, busy working on the house.

Orwell Tire is now part of Kauffman Tire.

Orwell store was out of them, they had some in Ravenna, long way to go.
