    Looking for options on where to buy a tire and wheel package..

    Looking at fierce m/t tires and ultra mongoose 178sb wheels 17"

    Also looking at dura tray tires with same wheels.... 285x70x17

    Got a price of 1950 from a local shop for the whole package and they would swap over my sensors for me

    Discount Tire is hard to beat. Don't know if you're set on a specific wheel but I'd check them out. The will also beat any price you find elsewhere. I've bought both wheels and tires from them directly from their store and through Discount Tire Direct (their online dealer) with excellent results. Their installation tech's know what they're doing mounting/balancing. Didn't mean for this to sound like a commercial for DT but I've ha good luck dealing with them.

    Tire Rack is a sponsor here, give hem a shot as well. I have bought several sets of tires from them over the past 10 or so years and have always been satisfied.

    Even better, get the online price from Tire Rack, then take it to Discount Tire and they'll match it. I've done this on every set of Ives I've ever owned works like a charm.

    Do you have to include shipping in that price? Because the tires I'm looking at are $181 from tire rack and $197 from discount tire. But after including the $111 for shipping to the tire rack price, then discount tire is the better price. If I bring the tire rack price to discount and say "can you beat this?" Are they gonna take into account the shipping charges?

    Discount tire was free shipping. They will price match as I found the rims I wanted cheaper elsewhere and they beat the other price.
