I also have the P4000 on the XJ-S and I don't like 'em much, and others
on the list will give recommendations for better alternatives.

If Discount Tires is located near you, I'm told they will match the
Discount Tires Direct (mail order) prices to be found at
http:\\www.tires.com.  Just tell 'em you saw it on the Discount Tires
website for $71.00.  NTB also has them, but I don't think the price is
much less than the price you were quoted.  Either store will likely not
have them in stock and will probably make you wait a few days.
