I hate the wheels on my pickup. They're garbage chromed aluminum, the chrome is peeling and the junk Schwabbies tires howl like a baying hound dog! So I bought a set of aluminum wheels with 'ok' tires on CL. The wheels are 18x9.5 and currently has 265/70's on them. 265/70's are spec'd for 7-9" wheels. They fit fine, look like they've worn fine, and are similar height than my current 285/75R16s. So I go looking for new Michelin A/T2s or M/S2s around 33" tall. 265/70's spec'd 7-9", 275/70's spec 7-8.5" wheel, and 285/65 spec 8-10" WHY IS THE 275/70 ONLY SPEC'D FOR SUCH A NARROW WHEEL?!?! And why do Michelin's have to be so expensive?! Tire Rack does sell the M/S2 in 265/70 for $186 a piece, but then they drop another $17.96 for delivery! I've been rolling over the options for a couple days now...Michelin LTX 265/70R18 AT2 32.6 7-9 wheel $250 (Tire Rack) $1000 PLUS $19.30 per tire delivery $260 (Costco) $1039 PLUS $15 per tire MS2 $186 (Tire Rack) $744.92 PLUS $17.96 per tire delivery 275/70R18 MS2 33.2 7-8.5 wheel $233 (Tire Rack) plus their delivery fee AT2 $260 (Tire Rack) plus their delivery fee 285/65R18 AT2 32.6 8-10 wheel $272 (Amazon Prime) AT2 $259 (Tire Rack) plus their delivery fee
yeah, i was looking at discount. we bought my wife's Michelin's there, but they don't have 285/65R18, according to the website amazon.com can get me what i want. and i found out my dad has a tire mounting AND balancing machine!
Discounttires.comFree shipping and no sales tax. That's where I buy all of my tires from. Then I pay to have a local tire dealer install them..
