I gotta disagree. Sam's has always special ordered stuff for me, and always had it in 3-4 days. If, y'know, it exists...

They won't -can't- replace em if the replacement tires just aren't available.

Besides, Sam's charged me $201ea, plus $9 for mounting, lifetime balance and road hazard. $210 total, $840/four.

TD wants $254, plus $25 install, plus $29 road hazard. $308 and $1232 total...

It was an option, but (1) I need a streetable tire, this is my daily driver, (2) I knew I'd have to return the split ones to get my replacements, and (3) I wasn't about to take another BFG out into the woods!
