$450 is on the high end.
I've seen these tires sell at $275 a set several times.
I don't have them, but IF I had 16.5" wheels and I was doing a low budget build, I'd run them without thinking twice.
What are you looking to do with them?

I run them on my 79 on the Hummer wheels with the runflats inside them at 30psi and I like 'em, like everyone else has said they hum and go where the road takes them but I paid $150 for 5 tires and wheels with about 75% tread. When these are worn out I'll replace them with the same

I also am running the rt2s, and "for the price" love them. I really liked my SSRs, but about 1.5 of them will buy a set of goodyears. For an offroad truck, I think they are a good buy, but might suck on a DD.

Edit: as you can see, I have been here for almost 4 years, but still can't get a pic to show up in my post. What's wrong?

I ran them on my truck for about a year, they did quite well off road, I have no complaints. On the road, once they warmed up, they were great. I put 2500 km's on them on the highway without any problems (several trips). They were suprisingly smooth and the hum was negligable, no pull even on bad northern highways. Got rid of them because I didn't want to run them in the winter. Sould have kept them.
I have a couple of pics in my gallery.
