Spent $2929.73 for all new out the door so I guess thats not to bad when you consider what could happen.

Hope that gives some one else an idea of what they go for in N.C.!!

Also hope next doesn't come soon.

I'm in NC. Where did you get 'em?

Giving tire prices that were paid last year is useless. Tires took a major increase 2 times through 2011.
Giving prices on tires that are not the same size is useless as well. There is a major difference in pricing of a 22.5 vs a 19.5 and a 235 vs a 295.
When comparing tire pricing, 1 must compare exact size...anything else is apples and oranges

How's this for current pricing. Yesterday I bought 6 Michelin XRVs 235/80/22.5 through the FMCA Advantage Program. Estimate was $2995, out the door, by dealer. Since this is a National Acct I will get my actual receipt directly from Michelin in a few days. If there is any appreciable difference I'll post it here.

The dealer was Purcell Tires in Fenton, MO. They carry several other brands as well. Great people to work with. Ask for Rick.

Got my receipt from FMCA on the tires. Turns out the estimate was $50 too high. Oh, darn! Will have to take the DW out for a good dinner now.
