That actually doesn't sound too bad. May want to do a little more research I know roln 20s just got a pretty good deal on his rims+tires with a few phone calls.
This should get you going...

Check America's Tire Co. at Tires.com (http://www.tires.com). They had the best prices when I got my 20" Weld Velociti 8's for my truck. You could also try Tire Rack (http://www.tirerack.com). They might not list the tire and wheel set-up you want, but talk to a sales guy. They've usually got pretty good prices, but you have to pay shipping. But they don't charge for mounting and balancing. Sometimes they're cheaper, sometimes not, but it's worth a try.
Good Luck

Also try Jason Riley at Rancho Motorsports. He hooked me and a couple other hot boaters up and not just because we pimp him out on here :rollside: I went with 18 x10 Chrome Eagles and 35x12.5 Toyo M/T's.

If you can definately go with chrome, no more polished alum. for me. The chrome is zero maintence.

Make sure you talk to Jason Riley(owner) not the other Jason.

Try Tucker Tire. I buy all my wheels from them. Great prices! They have two locations. I buy from there Covina location. (626)332-1142
They also have a location in Orange County. I think its in Laguna. Not sure of the number though.

the Toyo M/T is on backorder in a lot of sizes right now i work for Les Schwab and the warehouse has some 2000 of them on backorder. My boss said no discounts on them for anybody.
I am running 37x13.50 on 17s, as soon as i pay them off i will try and get some 40x15.50r22 if there are any left.

do you think they could get cheaper as soon as they produce more? just out of curiosity

sure they will. maybe not the actual MSRP but right now why would you discount a product that you cant get enough of? we got a set of 285/75r16s in that we had on backorder for some time, just to have for stock. literally an hour after we had unloaded them off the truck and put them into our inventory, other stores were calling and wanting to get them from us.
have you seen the cooper discoverer STT? its a copy of the toyo, seriously the only thing thats different is the sidewall tread and they have white letters. im not sure on the availability because we dont sell very many cooper tires at all, but i know they are stocking some sizes in our warehouse because toyo cant keep up. we have even been selling BFGs lately because of the lack of toyos, and we dont even have good prices on them!

Sounds like a good price to me. The demand is super high and the capacity for the plants to make these is real low. If I heard right, only one Toyo plant is making these right now. The other plan used to be outside of New Orleans..not good :( When I contemplated the 37's I was looking at a good guy price over $360 each, retail is like $425. I called the best in the country...all over and finally got Discount Tire in Phx to match prices and sell me 325/60/20 Toyo Open Country A/Ts for $320 each. Check prices at www.superdutyheadquarters.com. That's the place that lifted my truck and they have all these sizes in stock at killer prices. I spent just a little more than that mounted, balance, tax, lugs, etc.. for the wheels/tires Zack posted above. I was happy with it :)
Enjoy !!

This is also where I buy all my wheels. Great Service! If you go to the Covina location talk to my boy Scott Felt. ;)
