I've heard they are good tires. I was offered these tires (4 - 35's) for $600 -yes brand new!

If you haven't bought them, I suggest you try 4-Wheel Parts Wholesalers if they are near you to get a comptetive estimate. Shop around if you have the chance or time to do so.

$1500/4 = $375 a tire. I paid $386/tire one week ago for 38/14.50/17 new MT/R kevlars.

Sorry, I did some rough rounding there. I automatically assumed since we all drive wranglers that we count tires in 5's, not 4's, lol! I also added shipping/mounting balancing to that price! 4 wheel parts told me that there is no way they could get close to my price of $225 a piece!

Just an FYI. I looked at the grabbers and at Duratracs. I joined tread lightly.org. I was able to get my Jeep 1% below invoice and you can print a rebate for $100 for Goodyear wrangler tires (including Duratracs and mtrs). I posted to discount tire direct on this forum and they will give another $50 off for ordering 5 through them. The tires I want are 315/70r17s and they are listed at 263 per. With discounts they will run $233 a tire. You may want to ask and look for discounts.

Well guys, I don't know what all I can say, but I called the folks at discount tire direct and all I can say is MAN they gave me the hookup!! There is no one else who can come close to the price they offered me! So I am placing my order Monday morning, I will keep you all updated with pics and initial thoughts/measurements!

I just placed the order for the tires! Not as bad as I thought, $1,100 shipped! But I still need a procal and need them to be mounted and balanced.

Anyway, I will take pics and keep everyone updated as to how they run!
