Default Need tires. Any shop suggestions?

I'm looking for a pair Michelin hydroedge series tires.
185/65/15

Called 3 shops today and all 3 were no go.
Looking to a pair mounted and balanced for under $330


Any suggestions?

I don't carry the Michelin line, however tire rack lists that tire for $115 order from them and I'll mount and balance the pair for $40 so you'll easily hit that goal price. You can have the tires sent directly to my shop to save a trip

My number is 813-333-1100

If you're near clearwater/largo on Ulmerton road and 40th street, there is a tire shop called AK tire. NOBODY beats their prices.

I'm not close to there, but if they carry what I need then I would consider driving down there on my day off.

Well, it looks like no one carries Michelin hydroedge anymore (probably being phased out I suspect)

Anyone else have a recommendation for a quiet tire that is comparable to the hydroedge?
This would be for my '06 Corolla.
