JD.....not sure if you have a Discount tire locally, but they pricematch. I used this website to pricematch with them. I saved $49 PER TIRE 
Just pick your brand! Most are on there, I picked up my 315/75/16 BFG KM2's for $226 a tire, Discount quoted me $275 originally!

Well I think I found me some new tires, A set of Michelin M/S 285s with about 600 miles on them that includes some factory XLT wheels for 700 dollars. The only thing I don't like about the deal is the M/S tires are D rated not E rated. I heard Michelins last a pretty good while atleast the ones that my company uses does pretty good.

I talked them down to 700 right off the bat so hopefully they hold til sunday so i can go pick them up. Maybe I can get them cheaper when I teach them the ways of FTE and the hole family gets a new meaning of PMS when they see the DP-Tuner.

EDIT: This was my second choice -- more expensive and didn't rate quite as well:

Regarding goodyear at/s's stay away. They are a problem tire and i cant tell you how many sets I have personally installed and have had to take back on warranty. They have good grip, but they are (or used to be) bad for separating. Seems like 1 set in about 6 that I used to install would last well.

Great in the snow. I've ran BFG ATs as well for comparison. IMO, the Silent Armor is superior in the rain and snow.
I have the Silent Armors on 2 trucks.....plowed with them for a couple years on the F-150, now I'll be plowing on the set on the 07 F-350. I always have 400-500 lbs of salt in the back to spread though.
