But you could get a set of 35" mud terrains for 250 a piece.

Are you a Costco member?

Costco has good prices on tires and offers

Lifetime balancing
Lifetime rotation
Lifetime flat repair
Lifetime air pressure checks
New rubber valve stem
Costco Wholesale's road hazard warranty

Here are a couple of links to some nice BFG's

217.99 per tire for BFG 33" mud terrains.

Those prices include mounting and the lifetime rotation, balancing, etc. as listed above.

I have also seen an entire set of take off duelers (wheels, sensors, tires) for under 500 bucks for the set at my dealer.

Definitely look around at other tire shops, and check Ebay for good deals on duelers if you have your heart set on them.

I know, you're right about the ridiculous pricing at the dealer - I'll probably speak with the dealership and order on Monday, maybe I should mention the competetive pricing elsewhere? Yes I can order at Costco if needed..I will try to push them to give me 33" M/T at that price, but if not I go with Duelers. Oh I looked at eBay for past 2 weeks continuously, I can get set of 4 nice take-offs (mounted on equally nice alloy rims) for about $900 shipped, but no sensors ..and also I want 5 of them, I want full size spare.. One thing is fair from the dealer though - I guess since they got such a nice markup on tires and sensors,they won't charge anything for the labor.

But, great to know that Duelers are good tires - Thanks!
