Actually tyres were a helluva lot cheaper back then than they are now - I'd say a new GoodYear tyre could've cost as little as $50 (but don't quote me), vs. $110+ today. And they were giving $5 per tyre - so $20 off a new set of tyres. Not bad for waaay back then, when $20 was worth a helluva lot more than today.
