Found these listed for $70 a piece. Seems cheap to me. They are E rated so they will work on our trucks. The tread pattern in the link is not the same as what comes when ordered. The tread pattern in the pic is like what I have on my F150. The tread that actually comes on it is more agressive looking. Thought someone out their might be interested.

They list two types. Use my link in the above post. Item #755438
Its a for real deal. No typo, several of my buddies have ordered them and had them put on. One of them had them put on today for $350.40 out the door. That included tires, mount and balance ($9 a tire) and 9.5% sales tax.

Had those on my 1/2 ton and only got 25K out of them. They slipped like hell and got noisy for the last 5-7K. Tires make a big difference, but good ones if you can. The worst part about the Rugged Trails was I knowing they didn't grip the road, especially wet.

:exactly:
Had that same size on my Tundra before the Duramax. Absolutely sucked when it rained and only got 22k out of them.

As I stated its a whole different tread pattern and tread compound. Comparing a 4 ply load range C and an E range tire is not apples to apples. As I said the treads different than the pic and are not what comes on the light trucks. I have an F150 with the light duty C tires, again they ain't the same. Also as far as price, is no one using my link above. I believe its the correct link. Anyhow I am picking up a set today. They will not get mounted, I am just getting them for spares.

I would be shocked if the price difference was $70 vs. $132 just b/c it was a different state.

You've got a point and I stand corrected. Thanks for the info as I'm sure some of the guys will be able to take advantage of what seems to be a great price.

No problems here....and if you can get ANY e-rated tire for that price go for it!! I would buy a set right now if they were selling for $70 here. Good find and thanks for sharing it!!!

Quite possibly the worst tire ever. I had them on a Tundra and a Tacoma and they were shot in very short order and were slick as snot on anything but dry, rough asphalt. Got 22K out of them.
