For those interested, don't forget about Treadwrights. (www.treadwright.com)
They have some GREAT prices. Mine should be in tomorrow or Wednesday this week.
I got 5 of the Treadwright Warden A/Ts (BFG AT KO tread pattern) for $588.58 shipped to my door.
Do some searching on the forum and online and you can't find a bad review about them and there is a lot of info out there on them.

35" Toyo M/T's under my Unlimited.
Bullet proof tire, great milage, had almost 35,000 on the 33s under my TJ.
Never had a flat on the rocks and trails of Northern Idaho.
Havent had a problem in Kodiak, AK either. Paid 1800 for a 5 wheel/tire package at Les Schwab Tire Center. I mounted and balanced myself though.

While you can sometimes find tire prices a few bucks cheaper online, you also have to factor in shipping costs as well as mounting a balancing. Freight on 33s, 35s, or 37s is not cheap and you are probably gonna pay between $20-35 per tire to have them mounted and balanced. Spend a few bucks more upfront and buy local. Most reputable shops these days offer lifetime rotation and balance which you will need to do frequently with an AT or MT tread. Just my theory

I ordered my duratracs from dtd because that was the cheapest price I could find. I had to get my wheels from quadratec though and no one would match their price. the drawback to dtd is their lack of wheel choices. If they would carry a better assortment, they would be my one top shop, mounted balanced shipped, I really need a set of 35s to get me through the summer mounted to some alloys!
