I'll be looking for some 275 70 R18's in a little while. Is $300/ tire about right for that size?got him a set of Falken Wildpeaks on order they will do a great job for him.

Find a set of stock takeoffs for like $800-1000, then sell your wheels and tires for $300.F250 came with 275/70 R18. I was just looking on line to try and get a ball park. The Goodyear's have 46K and are getting low. I plan to get as much as I can out of them. Can't do $1600+ for a set of tires right now.
Not a bad idea but I like my stock boring wheels. Maybe I can find some just like it.... Hmmmm.Find a set of stock takeoffs for like $800-1000, then sell your wheels and tires for $300.
Going to be tough to find something decent for less than $400 a tire now days.F250 came with 275/70 R18. I was just looking on line to try and get a ball park. The Goodyear's have 46K and are getting low. I plan to get as much as I can out of them. Can't do $1600+ for a set of tires right now.
I found a set on Market place for the wifes accord. ended up being a hispanic guy down at the flea market that has a storage building set up that he runs his tire business out of. It's all used tires. The set I got is regularly $1000 new. These were 90% tread, no patches or plugs, $300 installed.Tried to order 2 Michelin Defenders from my guy, same as I have on my truck and they are discontinued! The Michelin replacement looks a bit like an AT and that's not what I want. I'll be searching for some old stock before I go forward.

I agree, fuck cheap tires.I personally dont care about the final ticket price. I care about the $/mile i get from it.
Ive seen too many people chase the lower $, and shove on El-cheapos. What they dont realize is they get only 25k out of them or some BS adjacent. Put some BFGs on - and sure 3x the $, but you get 3x the mileage if not more with good rotation. (disclaimer: loose numbers, loose examples). TLDR; i shop the Cost to Mileage Warrant ratio, even if id never bother with a warranty claim its more a baseline for choosing something that should come *close* sans mfg errors
I got terrible tire life out of the set of BFG AT's I put on my 2001 Ram CTD. I think they were down to the wear bars after 25-30k miles. It has been a long time, so I don't remember exactly.I personally dont care about the final ticket price. I care about the $/mile i get from it.

Yes, I bought load range E. This was about 15 yrs ago.did you get the correct load range? i had the same exact issue when i put a lower load range on a CTD
K03's are guaranteed 50k miles.
i get excellent wear life these days on any brand religiously rotating every 5k
