Yeah about right. I just got 4 for my raptor a little bigger.
Maybe ~5-8% higher. But that could be a regional / shipping / tax thing. |

That plus DT will not try to up sale you air filter & wipers. DT will try and sell you tire replacement certificates though. I will give them credit though, I had one bad experience with DT and got a call back about it on a Sunday and the manager gave me $100 to fix the situation. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Kolat: Get some wild peaks if you're wanting an all terrain, or stt pros if you're wanting to play in the snow. I'll likely be putting D rated Wildpeaks on for my next tires. I have 22k and 3 years on Pirelli Scorpion AT+. They look like they will be cooked before they hit 40k, but that will be right at the 6 year mark and I'd replace them for age anyway. The Pirelli's replaced Cooper Discoverer ATP's which only got 37k after 5 years. I could have pushed them to 45k but that would have been it. They were getting close to the tread limit and we were about to start pulling a camper, so I elected to replace them a year early. |

However, in HI,RI, VT, and WV the TPMS will fail you on an annual vehicle inspection. But generally, I agree, I wont change them all until one fails, and then will change them on my next tire change. If my state inspection required it, I'd change them out with every tire change. I think this decision really falls on how much you are inclined to do preventative maintenance, and how often you get tires replaced. |

I showed up and they mounted them in less than an hour. I left the tire store and went home. Holy hell were they loud. I kept them a week and went back to DT. I told them that I was not happy with them and started explaining why. They stopped me and said "You are not happy with them and that's all we need to know.

I think this decision really falls on how much you are inclined to do preventative maintenance, and how often you get tires replaced. All true. Typically, for me, my vehicles get new tires every 4-5 years. That's because my driving is split among 4 vehicles. If I got new tires every year, I wouldn't change them out each time. Even when they are sitting, the TPMS batteries aren't just sitting. They are slowly going bad. |

I ran BFG's on my trucks for years until they fell so far behind in the offroad tire development race. They got complacent on design and leaned on the name for years and got passed by marginal tire companies. Now they are once again dicking around with they KO3 release. All that being said OP, if you are street driving(occasional dirt road) , want a decent looking tire, don't live in the snowbelt or a rainy climate, you'll be fine. |

Basically you are buying the tires through them and paying about 50 bucks per tire for mounting and balance, assuming they are making zero margin on the tires. If they make some margin on the tires the labor fee is less, but that doesn't matter, it's the same for you either way. Does this include disposal of old tires? That's about 10 to 15 bucks generally. Seems fine to me unless you can do it yourself and have the equipment. Now if you would get CC points for ordering the tires yourself, maybe ask of you can supply the tires and just subtract their cost from the dealers total. But, that's more work for you. Overall I'd say it's a a decent deal/standard. I don't think shopping around is worth your time for this. FWIW Cooper seems to make a good truck/all terrain tire. I am on my second set of Falken Wildpeak A/T Trail tires (the Trail is more mild than the full A/T version) but peope generally like the Wildpeaks as well, either Trail or regular A/T version. I find the Trail to be a good happy medium for a mostly on road small 4WD SUV. |

That's probably about right. There's hardly no margin in tires nowadays, I think prices from dealerships and most of the major retailers will be within a few dollars of each other in most cases.

If you are going to replace your TPMS, buy them on eBay. I bought a new truck that has the Trailer TPMS. The official GM sensors for trailers is $150 for 2 of them. I bought 4 sensors from EBay for $55 delivered. They look and perform exactly like the GM ones. Look up the OEM’s part number and do an online search for the corresponding model online. Had them installed at a tire change out and they worked great. I had to buy the pairing tool for $10. Discount wanted $60 each for them.
