tirebuyer.com Last year when I had my 06 I bought some Nitto Dura Grapplers 285 75 17 from them. best price I could find and Discount Tire with their so called "we will match anyones price" not only couldn't match it, but they wouldn't match it either.
The price on tire buyers website included mount, balance as long as your near a tire buyer authorized dealer.
Also, I got free shipping.

Just a plain ole guy
When I shopped for tires, although online prices were lower, shipping charges on top of them made them higher, and the places in town that do all the tire installs, didn't really want to install tires they didn't sell, so they had elevated installation charges, so look at the whole picture before you decide. It may not be a better deal in the long run.

I would find a shop and know they will let you bring tires in. I found a guy willing to do it, charges about 60 to mount and balance I bring just the rims in with the old tires.
Also most places have free shipping.

Before I shop On-Line, I allways price around local tire shops. The Cooper dealer near me wanted $1,120 for the 4 tire's, plus $200 for mounting. Thats 1,320 bucks plus tax. By me getting the tire's from Treadepot, It cost me $764. The gas station near me wants $125 to mount them. Thats comes out to $879, I saved $445 by shopping on-line...

I looked on line and got freight quotes and printed out the info and had a major tire chain match the price and got thier warranty and service to boot!
These truck tires aren't cheap but the local guys do not want to loose business to the internet so push them a little and you get the best price and local service. This really counts if you ever need to get a tire replaced under warranty.
