Yeah about right. I just got 4 for my raptor a little bigger.
Maybe ~5-8% higher. But that could be a regional / shipping / tax thing. |

Quoted: Why? If OP’s work, let them work. My last truck went ten years and over 180k miles in the original sensors. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted: Quoted: If your rig has TPMS, make sure you change the sensors. That adds another $200+. Why? If OP’s work, let them work. My last truck went ten years and over 180k miles in the original sensors. My 2007 F150 with 190k manufactured in March 2007 still has the originals. They are 17 years old. But they are early designs (TPMS was enforced in 2007), banded to the wheel, not a valve stem mounted like all the newer ones are. The ones on our 2011 Honda Pilot started dying in 2019, so I replaced them all at the next tire change. It is wise to proactively replace them all on the next tire change as soon as one dies, or if the vehicle is 7 years old, IMHO. $200 every 7 years is not a tall order, IMHO. |

Quoted: $1221 all inclusive (including tax) @ Discount tire. $1102 including tax @ Tire Rack. Mounting/balancing/etc. cost additional. Dealers price looks OK. That being said ... in my location, I would go to Discount Tire instead of using my local dealership. Local dealership is hit or miss on quality of work. That plus DT will not try to up sale you air filter & wipers. View Quote DT will try and sell you tire replacement certificates though. I will give them credit though, I had one bad experience with DT and got a call back about it on a Sunday and the manager gave me $100 to fix the situation. |

Quoted: I replaced BFG KO2s LTs with MT Baja Boss SLs...much happier. I'm surprised KO2s are still around; I thought they had been superceded by KO3s. What vehicle? View Quote Mickey Thompson tires have always been my favorite. I need to check out some of their newer offerings. For a long time their tires just weren't smart to run on something that spent the majority of time on road. |

I would use Discount tire simply because of their service. I've bough a lot of tires from them they will rotate, balance, repair without any questions asked. I've never had a complaint with them nor has anyone i know.

Geolander has been my favorite tire aside from Michellin lately. Didn’t put a bunch of miles on them though.
You do have a second set of tires mounted and ready, right? |

Quoted: Get some wild peaks if you're wanting an all terrain, or stt pros if you're wanting to play in the snow. View Quote I'll likely be putting D rated Wildpeaks on for my next tires. I have 22k and 3 years on Pirelli Scorpion AT+. They look like they will be cooked before they hit 40k, but that will be right at the 6 year mark and I'd replace them for age anyway. The Pirelli's replaced Cooper Discoverer ATP's which only got 37k after 5 years. I could have pushed them to 45k but that would have been it. They were getting close to the tread limit and we were about to start pulling a camper, so I elected to replace them a year early. |

I paid about the same for mine and I had the buddy discount from the tire store owner, I have been happy with them on my f250, you might check the k03 they seem to be out in limited sizes.

However, in HI,RI, VT, and WV the TPMS will fail you on an annual vehicle inspection. But generally, I agree, I wont change them all until one fails, and then will change them on my next tire change. If my state inspection required it, I'd change them out with every tire change. I think this decision really falls on how much you are inclined to do preventative maintenance, and how often you get tires replaced. |

Quoted: No, just people who know what the fuck they are doing. They back their work and the products they sell. I wanted to replace my 7 year old tires on my Chevy Colorado as I was going to make several long trips soon. I liked the OEM tires so I ordered the same make & model from DT. I showed up and they mounted them in less than an hour. I left the tire store and went home. Holy hell were they loud. I kept them a week and went back to DT. I told them that I was not happy with them and started explaining why. They stopped me and said "You are not happy with them and that's all we need to know. " I chose a different brand of tire and they swapped them with no cost. Been happy ever since.

4 Michelin LTXs on my F250 just cost me $1700 OTD

I think this decision really falls on how much you are inclined to do preventative maintenance, and how often you get tires replaced. View Quote All true. Typically, for me, my vehicles get new tires every 4-5 years. That's because my driving is split among 4 vehicles. If I got new tires every year, I wouldn't change them out each time. Even when they are sitting, the TPMS batteries aren't just sitting. They are slowly going bad. |

Wait of the KO3 in your size. The KO2 is an old design.
BFG is slow rolling the ever loving fuck out of KO3 tire sizes. |

Quoted: Wait of the KO3 in your size. The KO2 is an old design. BFG is slow rolling the ever loving fuck out of KO3 tire sizes. View Quote Absolutely correct. I ran BFG's on my trucks for years until they fell so far behind in the offroad tire development race. They got complacent on design and leaned on the name for years and got passed by marginal tire companies. Now they are once again dicking around with they KO3 release. All that being said OP, if you are street driving(occasional dirt road) , want a decent looking tire, don't live in the snowbelt or a rainy climate, you'll be fine. |

Basically you are buying the tires through them and paying about 50 bucks per tire for mounting and balance, assuming they are making zero margin on the tires. If they make some margin on the tires the labor fee is less, but that doesn't matter, it's the same for you either way. Does this include disposal of old tires? That's about 10 to 15 bucks generally. Seems fine to me unless you can do it yourself and have the equipment. Now if you would get CC points for ordering the tires yourself, maybe ask of you can supply the tires and just subtract their cost from the dealers total. But, that's more work for you. Overall I'd say it's a a decent deal/standard. I don't think shopping around is worth your time for this. FWIW Cooper seems to make a good truck/all terrain tire. I am on my second set of Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires (the Trail is more mild than the full A/T version) but peope generally like the Wildpeaks as well, either Trail or regular A/T version. I find the Trail to be a good happy medium for a mostly on road small 4WD SUV. |

That's probably about right. There's hardly no margin in tires nowadays, I think prices from dealerships and most of the major retailers will be within a few dollars of each other in most cases.

I've got a full size spare so I have to add a few hundred more to replace them all.
And, at almost 60k miles I am nearing the time to do it. |

They are being replaced by the KO3. So I’d compare to those or look for close out sale pricing.

Never again. Major premature wear on mine. I would have rather put the $1000 on black at a casino.

Discount Tires offers a 10% discount to veterans. Makes their deal pretty good. Last time I bought a set of tires that is where I went.

If you are going to replace your TPMS, buy them on eBay. I bought a new truck that has the Trailer TPMS. The official GM sensors for trailers is $150 for 2 of them. I bought 4 sensors from EBay for $55 delivered. They look and perform exactly like the GM ones. Look up the OEM’s part number and do an online search for the corresponding model online. Had them installed at a tire change out and they worked great. I had to buy the pairing tool for $10. Discount wanted $60 each for them.
