    Edit #4: Price online is back to where it was. Never was able to contact anyone from Tire Buyer. Must have been a system error. Mods can delete this thread. No info here that panned out.

    Edit #3: Edited title of thread.

    Edit #2: It appears that this is no longer working. I wonder if they (TireBuyer) has caught on to the mistake on their site. If anyone who tries this gets it to work please update for others. I will try again later on and see if it has been corrected.

    I apologize for giving out false hope to a great deal.

    I saw this this morning on tirebuyer.com. 34x10.5R17, normal price of $327.97 EA; on sale for $134.99 EA.

    Here is a screen shot and the link below for those that may be interested. I have no idea if this is a glitch on their end, or how long this will last. It almost looks like this tire is getting dicontinued with this type of markdown.

    Edit: Mods - Not sure if I posted this in the right section; if not please feel free to move to proper location.

    Good deals happen! Like the TRD suspension getting blown out.
    I've had zero issues with my KO2s

    Take this to discount tire for their price match. Don't know if they'd honor this one though

    I just looked and found the exact same price as you, OP, however, as soon as I add them to cart the discount disappears and it's full price ($224.97/tire). WTH am I doing wrong?!

    Did you use the link that I provided? Then click add to cart, it may ask you for a zip code, enter that and should give you the price

    I didn't use your link, but I just tried it now. Still shows full price as soon as I add it to cart. Tried some other tires as well, like the Grabber AT2s I'm looking at. Showed a sale price of $134.99 or so, and as soon as it hits the cart the sale is gone and it's full price. *scratches head*

    Edit: Yeah, also put the Zip code in, selected installer, etc. All up to the point of payment info- full price. No biggie, wasn't buying today, just more curious than anything.

    That sucks that it didn't work.

    So I used this link first Then selected the tire, and then selected the TireBuyer tab on the right where it says to "Compare Prices".

    I just tried to go and finish the process, and it shows the original price as well. Must be a glitch in their system that is showing a bad price. Sorry about that. I will edit original post.

    Hey, no worries at all! It must be buggy across the whole site, because every tire I've put in there goes back to original price. Still, it's a good heads up. Maybe if you call them they can straighten it out for you??

    That is a good idea. I will try and call and see if they would honor the price

    Post back on what they say. The KO2s are overkill for what I need, and definitely what I wanted to pay, but I'd probably be stupid to pass that up, lol.

    Will do. I wasn't really in the market yet, but for that price. Hard to pass up.

    I have noticed that as well. Updated original post too. I wonder if they are in the process of changing prices over and there is a system glitch. I am going to try calling and see if they will shed some light on what is going on with their site. Sorry about that.

    That is possible, if there was even a sale to begin with. Other in the thread have tried as well, and are getting the same results.
