Tire Prices and suggestions

I want to purchase new tires in the next day or so for my 05' FX4. I decided I want to go with the Nitto Trail Grapplers 295/70R18 and put them on my stock wheels. I have been doing some research on these tires and really think these are the ones I want. Although, since I have been looking the best deal I have come across online is $263 each with $95 shipping. Locally I found them for $293 each. Any suggestions one where to find these tires for the best price?

Thats about the same pricing I found so I dont think you are going to get any cheaper. Discount tire had them online for like $293.00 on Ebay but I would just buy them locally if that included mounting too.

Ya, they charge like 15 bucks a tire but it may be worth it locally cause I know Discount tire has free tire rotations for the life of the tire.

A bit too much beef for my liking/need. I still want some type of road performance and I don't like the noise the Mud Graps make. My buddy had a set and although they looked sick they were noisy. They wear pretty good but I have heard you will get much more life out of the Trail Graps. Being a little better on gas as well doesn't hurt, and I really like he tread pattern on the Trail Graps.

The Mud Graps are hot though!

I always go back to Discount Tire. Their prices are pretty decent, and since you can pick them up local, no shipping charges. I have them install my tires for me, so everything is done at one store. Very easy. I am getting new tires on tuesday from Discount Tire.

Discount Tire's website isn't showing the Nitto Trail Grappler available in a 295/70/18. I would just give your local store a call to see if it needs to be special ordered.

I got all four of mine for $1400 OTD with lifetime balance. rotations and road hazard warranty. That was from Jack Furriers/Desert RAT but they are only a southwest company. Rimzone has the best price online that I could find but then you dont get any of the extras.

I had a local shop here say that these tires are on National Backorder and he cant get them. And my local Discount tire has them at $293

I am in San Antonio Tx.
