In fact, I got quotes on Toyo Open Country M/T that are way lower than anything I've seen online. Even the Nitto Trail Grapplers were way cheaper on price which included the mounting ana balancing (which would be extra if I bought the tires just online). For the record, the Toyos were pricing cheaper than the Nittos which is not something I've ever seen. Frankly, I was shocked at their prices and customer service so more than likely I will be going there if I decide to switch out my current 35's.

Before I dud Internet match, I had called them and the guy told me $320 a tire. Great price on 315/75/16 toyos. I did some Internet search and found them for $290 so I called TF back. Spoke to a different guy who said "I can do those for $349 a tire". I hung up. Went to the website, put in the Internet stuff I found and town fair came back at $280 a tire.

So pricing is such a scam on tires and I was quite pissed about it but whatever...I'm getting them at a great price...right?

Ok, onto install day. I get there and service tech tells me he can't mount the tires on my wheels with the current lug nuts. Tells me I need to go out and buy new aftermarket ones otherwise they won't work on my jeep. I fight this for a bit listening to their ignorant excuses and I finally give in and go to auto zone for new ones

I return and the alignment tech asks me a bunch of questions and one request I had was to adjust my caster to 4.2 to 4.5 degrees. He says no problem. Walks out to my jeep and says "I can't adjust your caster because you removed the caster bolt when you installed these rods". I asked what the hell are you talking about and he points to my adjustable control arms.

Now, I'm no tech but come on.....so I explain the basics of a fully adjustable suspension and he looks at me like I'm crazy. I tell him exact specs and he says ok. Now I'm scared

I pick up my jeep a few hours later and they tell me my alignment was a complete mess before but they got it mostly in line to the best of their ability. Caster still at 2 or slightly lower so I ask why. They told me they didn't touch any of the components. They centered my steering wheel and that's about it. So....how could they have fixed a complete disaster if all they did was center an almost perfectly centered steering wheel??

I showed the before and after pics to people and they all agree that TF did nothing but center the steering wheel or.....take a before picture with the wheels intentionally turned to put it out of whack for the reading.

Useless......oh...and they possibly mounted my tires wrong to boot since they ignored the yellow dot on the tires and didn't line the valve stem up with them. So balancing took a lot more weight than probably needed.

I'll gladly pay more per tire to avoid going back. Sorry to the OP for disagreeing with his opinion.

Here is my before and after pic.
