    I just got a pair of Bridgestone R280's on for $948. I was pleasantly surprised at the price as it was done on roadservice at the scalehouse. (I had a crack in the rim) so I wound up getting two new Alcoa's @ $350/pc as well. mounted, balanced, installed, tire guy came 60 miles for $1747.00 total. Heiser Tire in Dalhart, TX, good people in my book.

    295/75R22.5

    I'd have to look and see if they are H or G rated.

    I am looking at a set of Toyo M657 for drives now.

    Thanks. I need lo-pro 24.5's, but I don't think they should be much more. I just didn't know what brand to get. I've been told continental has a good steer tire also.
