    Yeah they started selling them a few weeks ago. and even with a Group by you won't save much. Those are some pretty solid prices already compared to what i have seen before General Tire let everyone sell them this month.

    Those are looking like the same (recommended list) prices that Four Wheel Parts had in their add. I hope the competition will bring down the numbers... so by the time I can buy a set, they will have dropped.

    tirepackage.com had them $15 cheaper per tire, but now their the same price as 4wp which is wierd cause tirepackage.com and 4wp are the same thing.

    Man, these tires look great! They are a lil pricey but I guess you get what you pay for! I've heard nothing but good things about these tires! These would be perfect for the LT guys

    Would like to hear first hand reports to be sure... road noise does matter as 90% of my driving in on road.

    ^ I confirm that the guy running those Generals stated they're amazing on the Dirt, Wear Even, but "VERY" Loud on the Street. . . He said that very clear to all of us Drooling over them. . .

    I want them for my truck really bad but when he said that, I went to do my research and many mention the same thing. . .

    If you can get over the Noise, these are great tires if you can snag a deal. I'm going to search for an amazing deal on them first.

    Again, I want to hear from the owner of the tires (firsst hand)... As all I have to go by is rumors (hear-say) on the negative and then there's Petersen's 4 Wheel & Off Road magazine review (July 2010, page 84) that called them "... highway-friendly without the drone so commonly found in mud tires."
