onlinetires.com gtRider. Today I printed out the price for the KM2s and went in to my local discount tire and they matched their price of $294 a tire. So you might want to try that if you dont want to wait for shipping. I just had to pay taxes that came out to like 25 more than the shipping from onlinetires.com

Well I ended up getting the KM2s and they look sick. The toyos didnt look as good at the KM2s and that wasa really the deciding factor for me. I will get up pictures today

The toyos are great tires, only thing that sucks about no matter what tires you get.. you lose mpg , and you will miss that good old 2-3 mpg very soon after the install!!
I was going to trade my truck and sell my toyos, might still do so. Probably get them again someday though .
If you re-gear it will solve the mpg loss. But you will have to spend a little cash to get that savings. I did it not so much to get the mpg's back as I did to get more power back. With a bigger tire you have a lot more rotational mass that has to get rolling from a stop.
