    11r 22.5 FS591 are $570 factory direct. I have two coming in today. Firestones are about the only name brand available right now. Most of the michelins still in supply are all from 2020 and 21 production. We had two new ones returned for credit because dealer got them factory direct with early 2019 dots on them. The customer declined them.

    I got 2 new steers from southern tire mart and it was $674 each Bridgestone m213 in 11r24.5 and installed them myself.

    I need 8 drive tires now. Looking at Bridgestone m713 or Michelin energy d or whatever it’s called. I only run south I-10 back and forth. Problem is I can’t find the tires and the price is insane. Michelin wants over $800 each. I wonder what price is with the discount program.

    If I don’t get a freaking insurance agent to get me a policy by the wnd of the week, I will sell my tall 24.5 steers and drives with new rims AND free delivery. May even do installation with all the free time on my hands.

    Some of the shops don’t even know the prices. Michelin will bill you. Savings are huge. Like almost 200 dollars a tire compared to retail. Just picked a bf goodrich trailer tire on the plan. Savings was a little less on the bf Goodrich. I guess it’s cause it’s lower cost..

    So there is no actual way to check the price first?

    You can call Michelin direct and speak to sales. You can ask them the price.

    I’m confused. So you sign up for this plan. It takes over a month. Then you buy and install tires at ANY Michelin shop, but you don’t pay anything and don’t know the cost until you receive a bill?

    So I signed up online, took a few minutes and was easy. However it said you can check the prices online and I’ve been through their whole website and it tells me I can check the pdf but they don’t link to the pdf and couldn’t find it. Who knows.
