^ Depending on where you live, Onlinetires has good prices on those tires. My quick online total came out to 1700 with shipping, so if youre closer to California shipping will be cheaper.

Or become good friends with someone who works for Discount Tire, etc. I paid 1190 for my Trails.

1700 but do you have a place to mount and balance them for free?

I live in Des Moines, IA so snow is definitely an issue and a reason i'd consider flares. We also only have one BDS dealer which may be why the price is what it is. Tomorrow i'm going down to KC and i'm gonna stop in a shop down there and price it out. If I can save a couple hundred bucks it would be worth it.

Could you do it yourself? Have buddies that would want to help? If you were in Houston I would knock it out for you but you're a bit aways haha

Sadly not...that would make things much easier! Hopefully I will get some good news from the shop in KC and be able to get it done. I don't really want to be cheap about it though...no reason to buy a Platinum and then put a crappy lift kit on it or have it done poorly

My guess is previous owner sold them when he went aftermarket, demodded and traded in and just found some cheap stockers
