BFG AT KO tires and with shipping from tire rack would cost more than that.

Any suggestions where to find these cheaper?

 

how do you think us boys feel with our 37-38 inch tires on 18'-22's. haha....it sucks..

but yea i see your point i use to wonder the same thing.....now i know

 

I didn't even pay that much for a set of Nitto Mud Grappler 37x13.50R20s!!

 

yea i got lucky on me.....4 38X15.5 R18 tires for 900 Shipped to the door

 

That's what they want you to believe. I think they are price gouging us just like the oil barons. I mean shoot if you can afford 20" rims you gotta be able to afford the more expensive tires right. Right?

 

I just bought a set of Cooper Discoverer ATR's 275/70/18 (33x9x18). 1st runs are $239 here and I bought the blems for $207. Blems have cosmetic flaws to the white letters and I like the black walls out so this worked good for me. They also have a 50000 mile tread warranty.

 

this really isnt true, i have worked in the aftermarket wheel and tire industry for 5-6 years and have been to pirelli, michelin, and continental r&d and manufacturing plants. their really is alot more that goes into larger diameter tires than you think

 

the 18" rim isn't a popular rim size yet. the 20"+ rims are popular, that's why they are cheapers...give the 18" another year or so and you'll see prices come down.

the companies did the R&D for the 18" tires, now they need to become more widespread to offset that R&D cost. I'm betting your average 18" LT tire with "C" load rating will soon be <$200 per tire if not already. However, you also got to remember that a good truck tire will cost ~$200-250 no matter what the size. LT tires have more materials and higher wieght ratings than P tires.
