I've noticed that no matter where I look at tires, they are pretty close in price. I think that tire prices are pretty standard, and are set by the manufacturer. Like BFG's are always going to run you the same price at most tire places, give or take a few bucks. I do know that every once in a while a store will have a "buy 3 get 1 free" deal. Right now, 4 Wheel Parts has this deal on all Pro Comp MT's and AT's. Good luck, and I am in the same boat as you right now...the most expensive part is always the damn tires!!!!

Whatever you do, DO NOT buy Center Line wheels. Especially Hell Cats. They're pure junk. Believe me. I know first hand. You could easily find better wheels for half the price.

Cool

I don't know if this governs internet retailers, but I know when I was buying new tires, the BFG A/T's were pretty much the same price wherever I went. I was told by America's Tire (which will beat even internet prices) that BFG has a minimum pricing policy on their A/T's. It would seem to me if you ordered them off the net, you'd wind up paying the same price plus shipping. Just what I've heard.

I went to look at tires today and I found a deal on BLEM BFG A/T KO,s. I am not to sure about buying Blem tires, sounds kind of risky to me, what do you think? Also if I go with 285 75 16 should I increas the wheel size from 16x7 to 16x8?
