    Oddball sizes are always going to be expensive.

    I get my Michelin tires thru my carriers fleet discount plan. If you are independent you may try OOIDA or Michelin’s Advantage Plan. $700-$800 tires are usually $450 or so.

    Are they the same size as mine? If so how much are you paying?

    You can check simple tire website, sometimes cheaper, and free delivery sometimes

    I bought Michelin XZE 255/70 R 22.5 trailer tires in April that were $362. I think they are approximately a $600 tire at full price.

    Yes it is a very good perk of being with a large carrier.

    Have you tried McGriffs? I dont know your location but down south you can get some decent deals on tires, particularly in Memphis. Also, if you're near Memphis, call J Mar in Olive Branch. If you're buying multiples, they will work with you.
