I've checked Discount, NTB, and Tirerack. Tirerack is too expensive because of the shipping. Where else can I look?

I really like the BFG KM MT tires, but we all know those are history, so I'm looking at BFG KM2 MT 33x12.5.15

Oh yeah 4wd.com, ok who else?

Maybe a different tire, but it needs to be MT, have long wear and cost about the same as the BFG.

4wheelparts.
You COULD go with the GY MTR/Kevlar.
Use CC5OFF as the discount code at 4wheelparts. 5% Off
Goodyear has a $80 MIR rebate
Usually runs me $60 for install
Final cost=$813

Also, I think it only took me about a month to have my rebate check, so that wasn't to bad either.

From what I have seen it is hard to beat Discount's prices.

I just bought some retreads I paid $516 shipped to my door. then it is around $60 to get them mounted so under $600 not bad... but that is for 285x75x16 and they are the same tread type as my old style MTR

Tony, you may want to check Sam's club ;) they have them sometimes
Just checked online they are $184 you will probably add the mounting and stuff and have also their warantie as long as you remain a member

Thanks, seems like I asked them before and they said they didn't carry my tires. Sam's has good prices and does good installation, they are really my first pref.

yeah they say out of stock though :(
But they may have some others.... and prices are usually inline with others.... plus there is always room for bargaining and getting a discount if your need.... I know wallmart will price match with other stores in town

theres a place on westheimer near 6 that is a 90 day same as cash place... they quoted me less that discount for the Krawler TA's....
and when I was checking I think he had the 33's that your looking for at 239 or 279 each cant recall 100% but it was less than discount or damn close to the same
its called texas stereo the only issue with them is a one week turnaround ... and as far as install... bring em over if you want em bead balanced... you will never know the difference except your tires will NEVER be out of balance even if you tear out a tread lug!
I can mount EASY dismounting I can do ... but it might kinda jack up the wheel LOL so I wouldnt suggest myself for that!

After just going through this if you want the KM/2 from Discount your going to have find a sales person that will search there system and find stores that have 1 or 2 in stock and ship them to your location. The stores that had a full set did not want to give them up. I got mine Sat. and so far I really like them.

You can special order these tires from Costco. So here is a trick. Get a price from Costco. They only charge $9 for mounting and balancing. Then go to 4 Wheel parts and give them the quoted price mounted and balanced. They will beat it. You can also do the same thing with Tire rack etc. Just tell them you will pick them up at the store which ever you use. 4 Wheele Parts guarantees they will beat the price, and my experience with other parts is that they will.

They have ZERO tires that are 33x12.5x15 :rotfl2:
