Tirerack.com is prolly the cheapest even including shipping. Then go to Molye and have them mounted, they only charge like $10/tire and they can do up to ~35/36\'s. They did my AT\'s on the K5 like 7 years ago.

tirerack is where i got my MTR\'s. most big dealerships can mount them. are you going to dynamic ballance them?

if so, you need to be there so the right amount of BB\'s gets put in each tire. i measured mine on a poastage scale and put them in 4 ziplock bags

...although re-treads seam to be the most cost effective way to go now

What kind of mileage are you getting on them?

32k from the last set of mud treads.  Using 4oz Equal for \"balancing\" and rotate regularly.  Not real loud, no vibrations,  and provide adequate traction.
