    I ordered your exact tires from Amazon and they showed up with just a label taped to them. No issues at all. Take them to a quality shop to get mounted and balanced and you won't regret it :thumbsup:

    Hawaii shops over charge for all tires from Lex Brodie to Sears to little small shops. You will not be disappointed getting from Amazon. I've ordered 4 sets already last 2 years.
    They'll come in sets of 2.
    Price wise, it's about 80-100 cheaper than local.
    The " Buy 3 get 1 free" is not actually a good deal. They catch the elderlies and women on these "deals".
    Keep the tires in "list" and Amazon notifies you whether price goes up or down.
    Next stop is install. Go to Auto Customs on Waiakamilo Rd if you're on Oahu. Being a bit OCD,
    these guys use new gloves on each car they service to not leave finger prints.
    Most tire shops here are like rolling dice even large companies like Sears and Costco.
    These are old Eurosport gang from the 90s.
    While waiting, go eat at Meg's around corner. Really good plate lunches.

    Only in Hawaii do you get this kind of hospitality. Haha Mahalo for the reply.
    After all the replies I feel a lot better about buying the tires off Amazon.
    I've been going to Island Brake and Alignment since I bought this truck so I'm comfortable with them but if you think this shop in town is better I might have to go with your recommendation.

    I had no problems. The tires came from simple tire out of Kentucky in like two days. Paid for 4 and I received 5.

    I feel like TW members review on the side of OCD so they are more willing to say something is worse than it is. Meaning if they say it's good it's reasonable to believe that it actually is a good product.

    I get what you mean though. I take all reviews with a grain of salt. I saw a review on Amazon where they gave it 1 star because their gas mileage got worse. Lol.

    I got mine off Amazon. Was the cheapest around. Found a place that would price match, but it was going to take over a week to get them. Amazon had them at my doorstep in 2 days. Local shop said $100 for mount and balance(for all 4), had him do it, when I got there he said "it was easier than I thought, $80".

    I was going in a slightly different direction with tires, but TW spoke highly about the Wildpeaks and my use so far has confirmed it, esp yesterday when I went up the pass looking for snow and today with our first hit of snow in the lowlands. No need to even touch 4Hi. Wet and dry handling way above the stock tires.

    The Amazon part was a no-brainer.
