I am in the process of looking for that exact tire and size - what website did you order from? I looked at www.discounttire.com, but it is saying $212/tire, $848/total. Is there a different discounttire website you went to?
What is a typical charge to have them mounted up?
Thanks.

 

here I think this may be the site he was refering to. I did not do much searching but you may be able to find cheaper. just google nitto tires discount, and check the prices of the sites that come up.

and another

seem to be going for the same price. further searching may turn up beter prices. also try ebay.

 

this place has good prices on rims. they also have the cheapest on those nittos as well. they do free shipping on rims but I do not think they do free shipping on tires.

sorry for all the posts I was board and did some searching arround. I just wish I could find bfg's as cheap as those nittos.

 

I actually called them. I didn't order online. Sales rep said they had $50.00 off set of four. They were $181.00 a piece plus free shipping.

 

blang...did you order them from the main discounttire.com...I know you said you called and they gave you a better deal, but who exactly was it that you called. If it was the main discount tire...did they ship them to you, or did you pick them up at their closest location?

 

I called Discount Tires Direct. Their number is 1-800-589-6789 ext 1861 is the sales rep named Ryan who helped me. The tires were 181.00 a piece but they had a 50.00 coupon when you bought 4. I also got free shipping to my door via UPS, I ordered Friday and got the tires Monday afternoon. Total for all four was 674.00 delivered. I had them mounted today and like them so far. I got the 285/60/18 Terra Grapplers A/t's. I paid 45.00 to mount and balance at one of my local tire shops.

 

Blang - I will be ordering the same tires and size in the next couple of days, hopefully I get the same price. Do you have any pics?
Also - looking on the Nitto website, they have two tires listed for Terra Grapplers in a 285/60/18: One is E rated (#200-880) with a 15.6/32" tread depth and the other is not E rated (#200-410) with only a 13.1/32" tread depth. Do you know which one Discount is selling because it doesn't say on their website. I have a feeling it is the non E-rated one.

 

just curious. I never looked at shipping prices. but those links I gave you are for better prices than that. they were at $165 per tire and one site was $160.
shipping is where they get you sometimes. those nittos are so much cheaper than my bfg's. maybe my next set might be nittos. but last week I pulled the trigger on some more bfg's I guess I just like the looks of the bfg's and also they are built vary heavy duty and are severe snow rated tire. I will have to see if after I wear these tires down that I am still hooked on them so much that the cheaper nittos don't win me over. senc people seem pretty happy with them and seem to get the same or more miles out of them. I might just switch over someday.

 

I am not sure if they are E rated or not. Is there anyway to tell by looking at the tire?

 

the tire should state the load rateing somewhere on the side of the sidewall.

 

Been outside playing all day with new tires, we got 10-12 inches of snow and ice last night. Tires worked great. Just thought anyone considering Nittos would want to know, also they are made in the USA.

 

Those are NOT E rated - They are P285/60/18 with the "P" meaning passenger vehicle as opposed to "LT" meaning Light Truck LT285/60/18 - Those are NOT the standard 8-10 ply D/E rated tires so do not expect them to be as rugged or have the same capability to tow/haul - on the flip side they are going to be lighter and thus will have a less detrimental effect on performance and MPG. Expect to pay in the neighborhood of $200 for the same size LT tires... As for me, towing is a priority so a D/E rated tire is a necessity rather than an option. For a more street oriented truck or one that serves more of the DD role without the need to haul heavy loads, the "P" series tire with its weight advantage might just be the ticket...

 

Thanks for the info 7lug. My truck is my daily driver and I do occassionally tow a car hauler, but not that often.
