Prices seem about right for the tires. FYI you have selected two completely different tires. If you are looking at Nitto Terra Grapplers you might as well go buy a street tire. The Kumho on the other hand has a somewhat aggressive pattern and will be noisey in comparison. Noisey is relative and i would prefer a little noise to keep a street tire off my rig. That being said, i have a set of essentially new 37x13.50-20's i may sell yfor $1,000.

Previous to running the Kumhos i ran the Procomp xtreme all terrain and i found it to be a very happy medium. There is no doubt it is an offroad style tire in the looks department(it is the only direction at tire, which is normally a m/t attribute). The ride was nice and smooth once we got them balanced out and they are quiet...and economical too.

Heres a set of procomps on ebay for less than 1k out the door:

FWIW, anyone looking for a great all around tire, I'd say these are better than any other AT tire I have owned. 4 wheel Parts has by 3 get 1 free on all procomp tires through month's end also.

Ripp,
North Orange County may not be too far for a great deal. Old man Tucker and his son will beat anyone's price. He is known to all of the local off-roaders.

Those are all excellent prices. Especially if your initial post was for 5 tires with or without shipping. I've always ran Terra Grapplers and have loved them. The best treadwear as far as AT's go.

Tire rack is good untill you see the shipping charge on big heavy truck tires .
