    I just put my 2nd set of them on a few months ago. Without digging up the receipt I'm going to say I paid the same as you were quoted.

    I'm at 7 to 10 32 s on the drives and will get used tire credit on them as opposed to casing credit .
    Think I'm gonna pull the trigger on em .

    That's the set I installed last December. I'm really happy with them. Good in the mud, great for shedding standing water from heavy rain, and for snow and ice. I installed Centramatics with them and did a three axle alignment along with new shims and shocks. Smooth ride.
     
    bzinger and Slowpoke KW Thank this.

    No pomps around here pal ...cross dill on ..Iowa , Nebraska and Kansas .
    Offered me decent money on my Michelin x line energys
    At Columbus Nebraska ..got 1 that's getting poopy so gonna pull em .
    I love Michelins on the steer position but they've priced them selves out on drive tires as far as I'm concerned.
     
    Lepton1 Thanks this.
