Hey Mike, I don't know the prices for that brand, but I just paid $270 out the door for 2 Firestone Steeltex AT's 265-75-16 (Stock). I could have gotten 4 Cooper Discovery AT 285-75-16 for $560, but couldn't foot the extra this month. Your price sounds pretty good to me. |

Sounds good to me. Let us know how you like them. I paid $555 for 4 Cooper Discs size 285 labor and all. Go for it.

I think that's a great price. Lowest price I could find around here was $140 per tire (each tire, mounted, balanced, and tax).
Had the AT+'s on my prevous truck. Let me know if you want info on the tire.

Sounds like he's giving you the tires at cost!!! I checked here at a local Sam's club and the prices started at $140 and went up from there.  I've got 285's now but I want bigger.....too much wheel well showing. I want to try the 305's.  |

I agree, $119 is a great price for 285's. I spent in the $150/ea range for 285 BFG's when I put them on my '97 F250.
I can't wait to get larger tires but I need to get my exhaust pipe adjusted because the exhaust shop installed the exit a little too close to the rear tire. I think a 285 would probably rub against the pipe.   More money to spend...
