Thanks ...
it did a hole in my wallet .. paid 1544 mounted balanced .
but then the shop call me with a worn ilder arm which added another 300 .
total 1844

The tires looks great. Can comment on noise yet. Will post review after running on highway
only drawback is the size. I think These are a little shorter than the previous khumo . Still looks great .
Plus with the new steering parts , all greased points and the Bilstein stabilizer it ride as new

Looks good! At $386 ea installed they had better last till they dry rot off the rims

I had 35's on my H3 about 3 years ago and they weren't nearly that much can't recall exactly but think they were around $250 ea installed.

I paid $1600 installed for 315/75/16 Duratrac's at a local tire dealer.
That's for (5) tires (spare included).

I have about 10K miles on them and they still look like new.
Just a slight hum at freeway speeds but not really noticeable.
They have been great in aggressive offroad situations (rocks, sand, dirt) and great in rain and snow.
I will buy another set if they are still available when these finally wear out.

I guess the extra $ is for the 17"
Goodyear had them for $380 I guess plus shipping and installation
I think the $1500 was ok .. The reason I cant sleep is cause I paid $300 for replacing the idler arm , I would do it myself in 1 hour costing me $100 ...
Well I guess that was my stupidity day
