Default Tire Question

So I am trying to buy some tires.

I can get dunlop mud rovers installed and balanced for 155 a piece. is that a good price? I would buy them online and put them on myself (have access to a place to get them installed/balanced for free) but cant find them cheaper.

Well it was for 30's. I am wanting to get either a 30 or a 31 cuase I plan on doing a 3" lift. I want to make sure I dont cram the tires in there and can have plenty of flex room. I cant seem to find anything cheaper.

I have 31's and a 3 inch lift and I had to trim the corner caps of the front bumper quite a bit to avoid rubbing when I turned

Sounds a little high to me. I paid about $150/tire for a set of Goodyear MTRs in 33x12.50 flavor. Course that was 4 yrs ago so I haven't been following prices lately.

That is kind of odd. I am running a 2.5" lift with 31s and even with running the sway bar disconnected I get a pretty good amount of flex and didn't have to trim anything at all.
