Where is the cheapest place on the net to buy tires. In particular looking at some Bridgestone dueler Revos. Tire rack has some good prices, just wondering if anyone is cheaper.
thanks Mike

I paid $115 a piece for my Revos at my local Firestone dealer. The problem is going to be availability for them though. I keep getting told that there are problems getting them shipped in to the dealers. I got lucky my dealer had 4 in his shop, but he had to order my fifth and it took a week to get here so maybe you won't have to wait that long.

I also have the Dueler AT Revo's LT 265/75/R16 @~$148 per tire and the local Bridgestone dealer was offering buy 3 get 1 free.
Tirerack was quoting ~130 per tire for 4 and there was a back order.

Mine are 31x10.5 15s and he gave me the same deal buy three get one free, and because I bought 5 he gave me free mounting and balancing on the fifth. Total for the five mounted and balanced with road hazard warranty was $695.

Thanks guys. Mike from your pics it looks like you are running stock wheels. Did you have any rubbing before the body lift? Looking to get a 275/70/16 on mine using the stock wheels. The Dueler Revos spec out to 31X10.5X16 and had a great review on tire racks website.I am asking because Fabtech says 31x10.5X15 will not fit on a stock wheel with their 3" lift. By the way is that a new pic with the body lift installed? Either way it looks sweet.

Thanks, the pic on my profile was taken about two days ago. Right after I put on the new nerf bars(they hide the frame very well and they look good too).
You are right about the Fabtech which is a suspension lift. With that you require a shorter backspacing on the wheels of no more than 3.75" where as the stock wheels are about 5.5". This is due to the new upper control arms that come with the kit.
I did the body lift(Performance Accessories) and I didn't have any rubbing, or at least any I could notice(even before I did the lift). I am running stock wheels, but they are 15x8. That 1" in diameter may mean the difference between rubbing and not, but I am not sure.
Here are the rest of the pics I have taken of the upgrades.
