I got a quote yesterday on a couple of 295/80/R22.5 Toyos M144 x 16 ply at Southern Tire Mart for $1398.61 total. Problem was, no tires. They did have Yokohamas for $1451, that's pretty close in price.
Quite a bit of that was charges in addition to the $499 per tire.
For instance
$45 for mounting
$7.95 valve stem
$2.50 flow thru valve cap
$45 balancing
$10 disposal
$10 other ?
$41 FET
$46 sales tax
That's about $120 per tire not counting tax. I sold my take-offs for $100 each.
If you're able-bodied those big tires are not that hard to do, actually, they're easier than small tires to dismount & remount on the wheel. If I was younger, I'm
82, I'd do my own, and I still might. The savings would buy Centramatics for balancing or just throw in some balance beads. You would still have money for
whatever. Buy tire irons at Harbor Freight or other tool stores.
