I personally won't deal with any big box or large outfit type tire center nor have I found it worth while to buy from an online source and have the tires shipped then worry about where to have them installed. My recommendation is ask around for a local guy, the one I have used for over 15 years has what I have found to be the best pricing and fastest service. Their pricing almost always beats anyone else's or is with a few $$ and worth it as I'm always in and out in 30 minutes or less with new shoes.

So even with shipping, someone else mounting and balancing, buying online for you was still cheaper? That just hasn't been my experience so man I'm glad I've got a place here that understands what volume does for the bottom line.

I bought from mrwheeldeal.com. Retail at discount for my setup was 3750 (they gave me the run around on price matching). I paid 2650 thru the web site. They come mounted and balanced (my price included new TPMS on all 5). They were shipped to my door in about two week total (rims were on back order from cali). Discount will do lifetime rotation, balance, n mount for $25 a piece if i want them to service them. I have fuel coupler wheels 18X9 with toyo open county R/T 285/75/R18 tires. I even called family and the best they could do was 1850 on the tires alone.

First search pulls up $1650 with free shipping on 5. You must have a real close family, lol.

Sounds reasonable to me. Sadly, we have become such a litigious society that common sense gets taken out of the equation as a lawyer will rip that common sense apart in court and it ends up costing DT hundreds of thousands of dollars to defend a case. Even if they win the case, they still lose because of the defense costs.

At least that's not as bad as 4WP selling me load range E tires for my JKU then refusing to install them saying they don't install E rated tires on Jeeps. This was back in 08.
