    the nitto's arent badly priced at all. the bfg's are a little high for sure! you can def find a better deal.

    When you buy new tires...do you order 4 or 5? do you replace the spare as well so they all match up?

    All depends on if you have new wheels or new size tires. Like I got aftermarket wheels in a bigger size then stock and bigger tires. Only bought 4. Still have the stock spare that came with the truck.
