Default Is this a good price for Duratracs?

Is $796.84 a good price for 4 duratracs installed? Seems pretty good. And this is after the $40 rebate on them right now. They are $193.05 a tire for the LT265/75/16s 112 Q OWLs. Just wondering gang. About to get these maybe and some Cragar Soft 8s in 16x8 and I'm just trying to price everything out.

If you are a member of Tread Lightly, there is a $100 rebate for Duratracs. Not sure if you could get that in addition to the $40, but just something to think about. Even if you aren't a member now, you could pay the $25 1yr membership fee and still come out with $75 in the rebate, which is better than the $40. Just something to think about.

They are $192 on 4wd for the same size as I mentioned above. And there is no 4wd store in Arkansas so I would have to have them installed somewhere else so that would add up.

How old are your tires? I got mine from a national tire store - 275/70/18 for about $200/ tire and they bought my duellers - with about 7k miles - for $60/each.

Ok I sent them a PM. Thanks!

And how much should I expect a local tire shop to charge for mounting and balancing and all that jazz? We don't have any of the Discount Tire chain here in AR either. I'm going to be getting some Cragar Soft 8s in the near future too.

I paid $1100.00 for the "E" rated with mounting, ballancing and road hazzard.

I have the good ole Wrangler SR-As that came stock on my JK and they have 2700 miles on them. I was thinking about selling my current tires and wheels on craigslist. But I guess I could do what you did with the tires and then sell the rims on CL. I have the 17" rims that come on the Sports and Rubicons.
