Have you checked Kijiji for used alloys GBA? There’s usually plenty available at near steelie prices.

I forget if Costco was 255 or 275. 275 section at PMC is an additional $45 per corner, so I'm alright with 255 section at that price difference.So, total price at PMC tire, for 4x Blizzak DM-V2's 255/70R18, including steel wheels, and their free mounting/balancing and shipping, is $1332.62 taxes in. Plus you get a $50 MIR.The wheels and tires are each $10 more than Costco, for a total of $80 more. But Costco charges $15 install per corner, so that means that PMC is only $20 more. For tires that I wouldn't have to wait to be in stock anymore. The only caveat is that I would have to switch them over myself (it's already COLD out), but I think I'm okay with that.

The PMC price was $1332 after tax, while 4Tires is $1468 after tax.EDIT: Oh, wait, I see that 4Tire is for 275 section tires. Well, that's interesting. That may be worth it.Anybody have any thoughts on going 255/70R18 vs 275/65R18 section tires? The 255/70R18 is what comes with the stock SR5, while 275/65R18 is what comes with the TRD Off-Road package. Will it make a noticeable difference on winter tires?
Do Ford dealers still match tire prices? I remember seeing lots of ads about this last winter.
You're not going to notice the difference between 255 & 275. Go with what is cheaper.

You might check out Birchwood Toyota. They include 3 years tire rotation, rim road hazard and tire road hazard(and also roadside assistance which you probably have with your new truck). I found the Birchwood group to be very competitive when I bought winters for my Santa Fe and Malibu.
