Thank OPs for posting...
Did some digging and found an awesome deal for myself on some Es.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.

Hard to beat whatever Costco has on rebate, figuring in the warranty, service and convenience.
I’ve done the order online and have someone mount them thing. If you have lots of time and live close to a shop, you’re still spending a lot of time and effort. I’ll only do it for specialty tires my local guy or Costco doesn’t have access to. My brother just bought a full set of oversized's for his Tacoma from Costco, and he's a really tight shopper.

Costco!🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬
You all and your darn Costco.
100+ miles for us, ass raped on turnpike fees to get there.
Pay to shop!
Seriously, I wanna hit one someday. It's just too far, too much cost to go, too much
buy in. For someplace that takes 4 or 5 hours and we would only go once or twice a year.
I'm jealous of those who have one within their normal shopping area.

I wouldn't put 6 plys on ANY truck..... I used to think that until i put 10 plies out on my 2017. They cost 4 mpg immediately. I'm willing to take my chances. Many years ago i made a traffic stop on a SRW F350 with a gooseneck stock trailer. He had 6 plies ion the truck. They were bulging pretty good. He grossed out at 35,000 over the scale. He had 9,000# on his rear axle. Trailer was completely full of rough stock. He wasn't too happy when i told him he was done for the day. Those wimpy 6 ply tires never did pop! You made my argument for me, and don't even realize it. If you have a truck, and are going to use it for truck stuff, the last fugging thing you worry about is gas mileage and the next is 'ride'. But if the most you're going to haul is the wifes new washer and dryer, or her groceries, you go.......

I buy a lot of brand new take- offs but typically. OEM tires are not very good. Take Michelin Primacy for example- straight up price point tire.
I have 2 brand new Falken Wildpeak AT3; 275/70R18.
I used them as spares driving back and forth to Alaska.i never had to use them. I figured just buy 2 more and remount these. $720 for 2 10 ply tires. I'm better off buying four new 6 plies and just putting these 10's on my other truck. I just bought a set of the exact same tire and size, man I'm loving them over the oem duratracs. Got them for 1500 installed. Falkens come with 55k warranty and road hazard, don't have to buy it separate. Cheapest I could find locally, got quotes as high as 1700.

I bought BF Goodrich mud tires, and at 50mph it sounded like I was being followed by a UFO.

Costco is my go to. They offer free rotations, free repairs, free rebalancing and will replace any tire that can't be repaired within 4 or 5 years of buying it. I have known people who picked up a nail in the sidewall on a 4x4 and Costco replaced all 4 tires so the tread wear was even.
My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

I bought Falken Z rated tires for my Porsche (when I had one) from Tirerack, and one would not balance after three tries. Since then bought tires from Discount and Amazon with good luck. Just got a set for wife's mini-van for extra cheap, with new TPMS stems, cost about half what the nearby Goodyear place wanted.

Never had an issue with any of my tires. A ½ ton truck doesn't need 10 ply for 90% of its mission. Plus this truck i just bought only has a little 3.7 V6, not exactly loaded with extra power.

I did Amazon for my last three sets this past year no issues no problems I do my own tires to include studing... And re-studing 😋 ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/bNrrpcm2/IMG-20231014-110045.jpg) oh yeah , I have to add that once Amazon ships me a set of tires ...for free by the way... they don't do it again and they pull the ad if I like the tires that show sometimes I quickly buy another set before the ads pulled! Lol
I work harder than a ugly stripper....

I picked up a set of like new dealer Take-offs mounted on F150 Lariat wheels minus the tpms sensors for 6.
That even cheaper than Costco!😆
I'll bust the beads, install the new stems and call it good.
