Anybody bought drive tires lately? 8 Michelin or BFG are over $8000 installed. Just over $4000 for Chinese. I will have approx 250,000km on Michelin XDS2 when I change them. Thoughts?
Tire prices are out of control!

I can sell you the 63465 Michelin XDN2 14PR for 551.23$ each, plus tax.
$4839.80 FET, local, and state taxes included.
Cash and carry. We're not doing mounting and balancing anymore, but I'm still a Michelin dealer
Edit. Keep this in mind. Just got this email

skallagrime Thanks this. -
you need a better alignment (MD) and balance the drives, we get 4-500 000 out of XDS/XDN2's
That being said, the cheapest tires are in Winnipeg, and with a company discount. I did 8 goodyears G182's for $4800 all in (balanced with weights) 4 weeks ago. The XDN2's I took off, had 498 000kms on them, and had 6/32nds left. -
Lol, and @finaldrive is looking to change his not completely clapped out toyo 677s at 563k km....

If mlc can deliver i guess thats fine too, but at 8 k, bah too much for the name -
Those Goodyear’s look decent. I am running 24.5’s and mixed gravel and chains. Most guys get half the mileage I got, here.
BigHossVolvo Thanks this. -
Just say no to Chinese junk……..everyone cry’s about the jobs going over there. Put up or stop whining I say…..
I run Goodyear’s made in North America……. Can’t afford Michelin

If i thought china and japan were the same thing, id agree... beyond that, im not and never have been a "made in america" guy, im a "solid quality no matter where" guy.
Im fine with "say no to junk" -
I just had 8 Hankook DL11s installed with a three axle alignment done for $4200. I also just priced two Michelin Xline energy steers, out the door for $1386Big Road Skateboard Thanks this.

Are those Canadian prices, and if so which tire dealer?
-
No, sorry. Tires bought in North Carolina, and the steer prices were quoted in Ohio.Dave124 Thanks this.
