I am not understanding the wide variance in tire prices... I thought that there was a single FMCA price on each tire model and size.
The amount does fluctuate widely, and you also have to take into account the FMCA price when you call in for the quote does not include mounting, balancing, and sales taxes.
The tires on my rig will need to be replaced next year and I was looking at the FMCA Program. The FMCA Michelin price for 275/70R22.5 is $609 per tire out the door ($495 tire, mount $35, balance 25, sales tax $54). I can get Hankook's for $445 out the door. For 6 tires the Hankook's are $984 less than the FMCA Program is. Other brands will save you also, Sumitomo's $1,164, and Firestone's will save $91.
I would shop around. The Goodyears, Bridgstone, and Continental's were higher priced.
