Good luck. Big tires cost big money.

You'll definitely find the cheapest prices online.

I did a quick search and found one website that sold for $226 but not free shipping.

Also, it'll cost around $10-20 each to get them mounted and balanced.

Yea, mounting and balancing can really add up if you don't know anyone. I have a friend who could get if for me for $13 per tire unlike the usual $20 it would cost.

Most tire stores offer free mounting and balancing if you buy from them. Obviously, they are more expensive, but at least check out a few local stores. It might save you a few pennies rather than ordering online and paying for mounting/balancing. I personally doubt it, but still check it out.

pretty decent. I believe 220 off the top of my head. Maybe 280, one of the two.

The older ones (first came out) had very awkward tread wear. It would wear from inside in to out, not the normal vice versa way. I believe they've been doing better though.

I just got mine from Discount Tire direct and I love them. I looked around for a while and $235 + free shipping was the best I could find. I also got new valve stems. Hang on in the corners because they stick!
