Check out a mail order shop that`s closer to Nebraska.Shipping is priced in zone flat-rates alot of times.

That tire looks pretty good... I'll have to think about it.

I just got a set on ebay--no free shipping anywhere. JC Whitney offers free shipping, but charge a handling charge that is the same as other places charge for shipping.

It's a weekend warrior type rig, I use it primarily for hunting, but I do occasionally make a run to town with it. I mostly go threw patches of mud and snow, and sometimes they can be pretty thick.
By shipping charges, I wouldn't mine paying up to 30 dollars, but paying 100 bucks or more for freight is just a little rediculous.
