I'm looking at replacing the dry rotted tires on the Commando w/ a set of 35x12.50r15 BFG KM2s (was waiting on the KM3s but got impatient).
I've gotten a few sets of tires at a local shop I like alot, and they quoted me $1286 for a set of 5, mounted and balanced, Load range C. I liked this price. And then I checked the internet.
4wheelParts has a set of 5 of these tires right now for $1055 after $50 instant rebate and with free shipping. And if you're willing to drive to Charlotte or Atlanta or Charleston they'll mount and balance them for free. Dang. That seems like an absolute killer deal. But it's minimum 2 hours to any of those places.
Then I remembered that Discount Tire matches offers. I just got off the phone with them, and they're willing to match the $1055 for 5 of these tires, mounted and balanced. There's an additional $8 waste fee per tire if they have to remove my old tires and dispose of them. But they also offer a replacement guarantee for $35/tire ($175 for 5), which is a pretty good deal on tires that get used offroad.
I thought I'd share that deal with y'all in case anyone else is looking at tires.
