You can get the Definity Dakota MTs in 31s at Pep boys for around 160 a tire usually, I worked there up until a couple weeks ago. They're actually really good tires, made by Cooper and just branded for pep boys. They almost always have the buy 3 get the 4th free deal too.

For duratrac's or mtr-kevlars goodyear has a rebate on set of 4, and also if you become a member of tradlightly.org you can get an additional 100$ rebate. One of the reasons I got mine. Other than the fact that I got a GREAT deal on a set of 31" MTR-k's. Otherwise. The Falken Rm ATS/WP AT are pretty good for the price.

Ive found that tires just usually are cheaper at local shops, shipping mounting and balance add up

Haven't gotten stuck with them and they're great on the road (and in the snow/rain)

Paid right at $1k for my duratracs thru pepboys/big10tires. Got 25k miles on them and they still look new.


Edit: 265/75-16's after on the truck, they were right at 32" tall.
