I was quoted by my connection ...
$1050 for a set of 5 - Kumho Road Ventures MKL71 315/70-17 ( just for the tires )
OR
$1165 for a set of Nitto Terra Grapplers 325/70-17 ( just for the tires again )


let me know if this a good price and or maybe you can do better let me know but I preffer a local shop... Los Angeles, Corona, Riverside areas... Thanks

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:
