And actually I got an additional $40 refund from them because s few of the tires were kinda chaffed on the outer edge. Wasn't a big deal, but that's $10 per tire off! So that means I paid $685

I got the stock size 275/60/20
I did see they went up from 166 to $170 a piece.

2 G's, WTF were they the special gold inlay letter models? BFGs like the Cooper's are a mid priced tire. In sizes around 33", neither should cost more than $175 topps.
The Coopers are a very decent A/T tire, very similar to the Toyo Open Countrys & Nitto Terra Grapplers, it's the most copied tread pattern out right now and are marketed as a lower cost alternative to those two tires. Very good handling, good in rain & snow and pretty decent for light off-roading...
