Buy from Discount Tire man. Once you get onboard with them, they'll be sure you keep coming back. Just for buying some tires from them a couple years ago, they took out a nail from the tire in my truck, took the actual tire off the rim, patched it properly, put it back on and balanced it FOR FREE. Not to mention I didn't even buy these tires from them. I bought tires for a different vehicle and they still did it for free. You can't beat their service or prices, it's like the purchase that never stops giving back to you.

At that price I would. I just put those on my truck, same size cost me $1200 at Belle Tire. I also got the road hazard. Seems like whenever I don't I need it and when I do, I don't need it.

I agree. Wouldn't hurt to check Discount Tire's price however.

You may know this, but when comparing prices, be sure to compare the mounted and balanced price.

I Love discount tire i had a flat in my quad and i took it over there and they fixed it for FREE, i was like are you sure?

I might just buy them at sears and have them mounted and stuff at DT for the hell of it.

or do you think thats a bad idea? would i lose a warrenty in some way by doing that?

So lets say i did that and it blew out it a horrible way would sears still cover it?

I have been very happy with Sears Tires in the past. If you can get a good price, they do good work and they stand behind their products.
I am currently shopping for SUV tires. Sears is too high right now. My best price came from Costco.
As Bluejay 432000 says, you need to compare the 'OUT THE DOOR' price. Mount, balance, stems, disposal, road hazard, etc. need to be included.
Sears has a great warranty. Every Sears store will honor it. I have found that some tire stores sell warranties that are only honored by certain stores. I learned this the hard way, thanks to a Goodyear dealer.
Personally, I would not waste my time having them installed elsewhere. Get the best price you can and let one store do it all.
Good luck.

I think so, I'll I can remember is the little old lady throwing a big tire throught the window at Discount, then all the broken glass falls perfectly so you can still read all the lettering

$900 to $1000 buck's out the door with balancing and maybe throw in an alignment ought to be great! Help Mom and Sear's out. By the way good choice in tires.

That's a good deal. I just checked Costco,(same exact tire) and they wanted just a little over $1000 out the door with all the bells and whistles (road hazard, nitrogen inflation, free rotation, etc..)
