sounds like you got some good deals but now that i think about it i dont think the KM2 and the procomp are in the same class...I would guess just branding difference though.

yeah they're sticking it to you on that. wholesale on those should be around $180.00.
well you buy wholesale online i have found for 189. But with tire rack they will be 100 to ship plus tax because they have a distributor in LA. so after that and paying to mount you will be pushing 1000.

discount tire direct has free ship and no tax but you still need them mounted and looks to be out of stock as well.

I paid ~$1200 for a set of 4 33-1250-15 KM2s with mount, balance, alignment, and some tie-rod ends. The reciept is in my truck, I'll check it and see what the damage for just the tire part was. I think it was somewhere around 980...

ETA: Won't be able to check till this evening though. I like the KM2's a whole lot more than the old goodyear MTRs I had.

im not sure how much tie rods are but it looks like im getting a pretty good deal comparatively?

whats that site "group buy" or something where multiple people can order something and get a lot off?

Anything under $1k for a full set of 33" BFgoodrich mud tires mounted and balanced is not bad. Cheapest I ever got off was $700 for a set of 265/75/R16 buckshots. Tires bees expensive

I have a set of cooper mud dogs on my XJ that are 31x10.5x15. Front tires didn't last at all and I need to replace them. Problem is that cooper doesn't make this tire anymore. My back tires have more then 85% thread left. Reason my front tires are bad was that I had to have a patch placed on the sidewall.Even after balancing, I still had problems with some vibration.

Sucks that cooper doesn't make this tire anymore. Those suckers love mud and water. Clean out real good.
