Treaddepot, but they were snows, but here is another all season tire for $120. Shipping bumps it up a bit, but you can try and call discount tire direct who price match tires and ship for free.
I've ordered from discount tire and they took good care of me.

Cooper Discoverer , 265/70R16 DISCOVR H/T 112S OWL

Here is the list for 265/70/16.

I just purchased 4 new cooper mastercraft 265/65r 17, along with an alignment and 2 outer ty-rods for 864.00, www.townfairtire.com, tires ride smooth and have an aggresive pattern, but look good

It is tough to find "cheap" tires for these trucks. You could check craigslist and see if someone is getting rid of a set, or check to see if any tire places have used tires. There are a couple of places around me that sell used tires. When I was looking, it was very frustrating (the prices). I wanted an A/T with white letters in 265/70-17 size and was limited in selection. NOTHING under $100 each. Ended up going with Hankook Dynapro ATM from discount tire. Right at $900 out the door. I love these tires and I like to use discount tire because they are right beside my work and offer free lifetime balance and rotations. I opened up an account and charged it, had 6 months no interest. Paid it off in 5. Easier than dropping all that coin at once.

Yes was very tough. I ended up with master craft courser MT. These things are nice. $728. Got a bit of a deal too. The truck has a nice stance.


May not be going in mud but damn, these things look mean!

Wish there was a discount tire close to me. I would have done that.

Thanks. That is the reason why we went with them. We wanted a aggresive look. I know I know it's not 4x4. But they look nice. I took the truck in my field and stomped it. The one wheel wonder shot a nice long rooster tail of grass lmao. But had some nice traction on the grass.

Those tires look good, tires are something not to cheap out on. I tried saving money that way before. Ended up with a ripped up wheel well and fender damage.
