Humm, I'm kinda surprised the tire shops wouldn't install lesser speed rated tires. I bet some smaller mom & pop shops would but then again who knows. As with the plugs/patches they worry about liability and also like profits. They know the car is capable of high speeds and thus feel it would be irresponsible of them to install tires that can't match those speeds. But as we know it only matters if you plan to use that speed. It also strikes me a bit self serving like telling someone your car needs new hoses/belts and engine flushes when other shops say they're not necessary. The first shops employees are being pushed to increase profits while keeping their consciences feeling good by telling themselves they're keeping their customers car in top/safe condition. :)
I'm a all 4 tires matching kind of guy too. But lately finances have caused me accept front matching and rear matching. Thankfully my truck (2WD) doesn't care and happily rolls with 245/70R-16 fronts and 235/75R-16 rears now. I've even bought used tires once--probably need 2 more before November's inspection.
You got a pretty good price! Back when I bought my last set of 4 new they cost me almost $700--great tires very poor life.

Most of us conjure up a picture of a massive thresher with a wide belt lazily arching to a tractor 35 feet away throwing a cloud of dust, straw and grain, and while nostalgic, not too practical a method of using our tractors. While this may have been the bread and butter of the belt work in the past (since this is what made the money on many farms), the smaller tasks may have been and still can be its real claim to fame. The thresher would bring in the harvest (and income) once a y
