I got a ready good deal from Robby @ Sportchassis. They take them off some of the haulers to replace with double wide singles. So they are new OEM that just hit the road from the factory to Clinton,OK. I think they were about half of the cost.

If you can get the like the poster above said then good. If not Michelens are gonna be high but are probably #1 or maybe #2 in quality with Goodyear running behind them. Personally I bought the bridgestones but only because I could get them in the size i needed with lugs on the rear. Goodyear didnt make them in lugs anymore and michelen didnt make them at all. I would have had to go to your size in michelen. My truck came with slightly different tire size so I wanted to keep it the same. The entire set with alignment....... just over $3k.

That's an RV tire. You might price out Mich. XZE 2 or XZA. Those are all position truck tires. I don't know if they would be less than the XRV or not. I'd also price Yokohama tires, Goodyears, and maybe BF Goodrich. If you run the miles to actually wear the tires out rather than tear them up or have them dryrot, the Mich tire is an awfully good tire. Otherwise, I'd look for a good quality(rather than premium) tire. Also, have your tire shop give you an actual quote. Your recappable Mich casings will have value, too.

Yea that price was for 6 of them. I will check the invoice when I get a chance to verify the price but I am pretty sure thats it. I got them from a local truck stop. I currently have about 8000 miles on them.
