What is your rim size? I was quoted $390 per tire for KM2s in 35x12.5r18 at TireRack. Email them.

Mine arent loud at all got 70k out of my old set of bfg km2 could of gotten more but we got snow and also lifted 9" so before something happened to all the money i got in mine i put new km2s and love them getting another set for my leveled f150 im 33s or 35s but all around great tire

$560 is for the 35x12.5r20. Like you said though, usually when you talk to them they are willing to negotiate, I was just surprised at the initial price, but for 70k that is worth it IMO.

I have 20s. Well That's what I will have. Right now I have 18s. Besides the point though. They are $560 for 35x12.5x20r.

If you actually go to a discount tire store they will negotiate with you, at least the ones around me will.

Thats where I got my trail grapplers and they dropped them about $50 per tire.

Yeah I took various low quotes from the internet into my local America's Tire to price match and got them down almost $70 per tire.

I can't figure out how those with the Nitto Trail Grapplers are saying that the tires are quiet? I have 305/55R20s (33-inch) and mine are the loudest tires I have ever owned; much louder than the larger 35-inch KM2s I had previously. Almost everyone who rides in my truck comments on how loud my Nittos are especially at highway speeds as they literally howl and become tiring when trying to have a conversation or listen to music.

But they sure look good!

Mt as mud terrain? Are both nittos mud terrain? Not all terrain and mud terrain?

Where are you finding best prices online.

I found these guys reasonable. Any other places you know of or should I just take these guys prices to a local shop?

Sdwheelcorp.com and they will ship to Canada.
