Or treadwright, those are the two cheapest options. Craigslist will likely be used and treadwright is "new"

Depends on the tires???? Anyway i just shop the local tire stores for the tire or type of tire I want. I have found this to be the cheapest way to go. You can sometimes find a good price online, but once you add shipping, not so much. then with online you either have to mount them yourself or PAY to have them mounted. At the same shop that wouldn't have charged you to mount them if you had bought the tires from them.

Most tires in my experince won't differ but by maybe 10-20$ were ever you go its the fact of getting what you want and then mounting and balance those are the big deciding factors

True about almost all brands except for treadwright, yes they are technically retreats but they run over a hundred bucks less and I haven't heard anything bad about them

Where do you purchase your tires? I've only ever gone to Discount Tire and they charge $16 mounting per tire, and then little $2 "state road fees" and crap like that.

I price shopped locally and the cheapest I found was $440 out the door then I called Americas Tire. Not only did they price match the same tire but they were cheaper by $21. $419 out the door with everything. Goodyear Wrangler A/T 235 75 15.

your stock tires are 225/75/15R more than likely

if you want 31s, look for 31x1050x15. The 1050 may be shown as 10.5, it's all the same

32s will definitely need trimming
