Brand of tires
 
Currently my truck is sitting on 255/60/15's on all fours. I want to go back to the 275/60/15's in the rear. Just gives it a little better stance.

I use to be able to get the Duralon Radial SR tires from our local Mills Fleet Farm. Now they only carry Cooper and Roadrunner tires and can't get the 275's I want. The duralons were decent and didn't break the bank. Which would allow me to put on a new set every year or couple of months depending on how much peddle I use.

Now the only tire I can find in that size are firestone and BF's. The BF's are a great tire, but they are $115 each.

So it's either less tire smoking with the BF's or keep looking for another brand.

Any other tire company's that make 275's??

Shipped, mounted and balanced and we're back to $115 again. What ever happen to a good set of rubber to burn up?

I bought my BFG Radial T/A 275/60/15s from DicountTireDirect while they had a special going and got them shipped to my door for less than $300, then I went to a local used tire shop and got them mounted, balanced and put on the truck for $30. They still have a good price ($98 to your door) but if you have time just wait and check every week or so for a special. Cheapest I found them locally was $120.

That might be a good option...I did a search online and found them for $69. Which is more the price range I was looknig at. I'll have to venture out locally to see if I can get them.

THANKS!!
