Best bang for your buck would be getting round ones.

Yep, my summer wheel/tire combo is coming off this weekend and I’m putting on my winters. I’ve been pricing new summer tires. My wallet runs for cover every time I look online at tires. It’s insanity. Who would have thought shutting down the worlds economy and then implementing absolutely horrible policies would have such an impact……………..Instead of starting a new thread,.......I'll just piggyback off of this one here.
Anyone price out four tires lately?! LOL
I got a quote for four stock size, 20" wheel BF GOODRICH T/A KO2's, mounted, balanced, alignment,...........$1,800 bucks out the door.
I was like, WTF?!?!!?

Trying to stay away from the Goodyucks. I think they are terrible tires. I have less than 35k on them and I can see how worn they are. These are the stockers I am talking about. Hydroplane city. LOL Just curious where they are on sale? I've looked at 3 or 4 places and they are over 300 bucks a piece.275-70-18 Duratracs $1500 out the door on sale Nov 2021.
265-50-20 Michelin X-ice $1300 at clearance sale prices March 2022, so by Canadian prices you are in the ball park if there is no sale on.
I bought a set of Sailun Terramax AT with the 4 peaks. LT275/65/20 and I'm super impressed. They are quiet and balanced really well. They weigh probably 2.5x more than the Goodyear sra junk.
Not lbs, it's 2.5x the physical weight. These 10ply at are heavy.2.5 times the weight, wow.
I'm trusting the difference was 2.5 lbs or #s.

That really isn't a good thing. A well built, good performing and good lasting tire does not need to be over twice as heavy. All that extra unsprung weight has far too many negative impacts and no positive ones.Not lbs, it's 2.5x the physical weight. These 10ply at are heavy.
You're probably right. To be fair, the sra I had were pretty worn. My take is the rugged knobs on the AT and the 10ply sidewall adds a lot of weight. I also went up from 275/60/20 275/65/20.That really isn't a good thing. A well built, good performing and good lasting tire does not need to be over twice as heavy.

I found the shipping weight. Those sailuns are 52lb and the sra 39lb (when new of course). But boy, they felt at least twice the weight carrying them around. The duratrac LT275/65/20 are 57lb.
The mpg will definitely go to the *******. But the trade-off will be much better towing experience, off-roading and winter traction which was the main reason for the upgrade. It didn't make sense for us toncontinue with dedicated winter tires as well as all season.
