Good price. *thumbs up!*

I think I paid about 140 for mine, then had a friend mount them.

I would say that's normal, they're roughly 135 a piece, some shops charge 20 dollars per tire unless you buy through them (atleast the ones ive been do) so even if they put them on for 20 a piece, that'd add up to 620, plus tax, so that sounds about right. When I got tires for the truck I drove 2 1/2 hours total to go grab them straight from the warehouse, with gas and all other costs, I still saved 60 bucks and it was a nice drive.

Chris,
That's a great price, they would be $766 down here for 275X40X17 G-force sport comp-2's.

Keep in mind on the 84 the only options I'm aware of are 245/50/16 or oem 255/50/16.

BUT.......... Regardless it doesn't matter they only have 2 of the 4 received and they won't have the other 2 until Monday so i ordered them elsewhere because they pissed me off and tried to charge me more money for their mistake. Getting them from Wal-Mart for the same cost tomorrow and I'll have them mounted and balanced somewhere else.
