What type of tire are you looking for? What size? My guess is that there are plenty of options out there if you change the size a little.

that's just it. I don't want to have to buy rims. I am getting quoted around 680 mounted balanced and installed from Discount tire. Either goodyear or bf goodrich. Just seems like there isn't many choices.

You don't have to change rims to change tire size by a little. 265/60, or 285/65 would work on the OEM rims with little change in overall diameter.

I believe you have 275/60R17 tires. Tirerack sells 20 tires in that size and Discount tire online shows 10. That seems like enough to chose from. Something liek the Kumho SXT looks liek a nice sport truck tire for the money.
