that price really doesn't seem that bad to me.

last year during our club free distance contest one contestants
trailer blew out BOTH tires. They were admittedly old tires. On the
second tire the crew unhooked the trailer and drove to the nearest
town where he found the local mechanic at home and got him to repair
the tire. Amazingly the crew got back on the road and was less than
an hour behind the glider when it landed. That guy deserved a gold
star for that effort.
