Cheapest tires?

I have 255/65R17.. if It'll fit, and wont kill my gas mileage.. What's the cheapest I can get? I'm only looking for it to last until I save up for my lift, wheels tires, etc. I found some for 98 a tire, shipped is 505+whatever install is.. Any Ideas? Thanks

See if there are any locally owned tire shops that sell used tires.

There is a place by me that sold me a Goodyear Wrangler R/T for my last truck to sue as my spare tire and it only cost me 50 bucks and they mounted it for free.

Used tires man. If you only need them for a short time, why buy new ?

Get some decent enough used ones, and focus on getting the lift/tires.

Try Craigslist, classifieds here or the newspaper. Just try to look around locally. If you are concentrating on getting it lifted and just need some to get by for now definitely look around for something used.
