Here's your original post. It says nothing about 20 inch rims or out the door prices. I drive an average 1/2 ton pickup. Mine were 220 and change out the door. 880 is a long way from 1500 plus. You were incorrect. Carry on.

you clearly didn't read the follow-up post where I answered your question where you asked what size tires I was looking at, but I personally paid $893 out the door for a set of Falkens - 275/60/20......I still have the invoice in my glove box. The same shop quoted me $1400-1500 out the door for the Toyos/Nittos that I originally planned on purchasing, and other shops in town were within $100 of the same price on the same tires.

I don't doubt that you paid $880 for your tires if they were for a 17" rim - my last truck had 17" rims and I remember tires being considerably cheaper - but I suspect the Falkens in YOUR tire size would've probably been even cheaper...but who knows.... Either way, 16-17" rims are becoming less and less common, as more and more manufacturers are going to 18-20" rims. You trying to compare what you paid for 17" rim tires to what I paid and was quoted for 20" rim tires as some sort of evidence that the tires aren't nearly as expensive as I said they were is an invalid argument. If you can't see why that argument doesn't hold water, then nothing I say is going to make you understand.

Either way, I'm not going to continue hijacking the OP's thread to argue with someone on the internet over something so stupid and irrelevant.
