Depends. I've not heard a good word about Continentals. So, depending on your use you might love them or hate them. So, if the tires are gold, great deal. If you will be sorely disappointed in the tires it becomes an issue of $250 a wheel. Not a great deal unless you're in love with the tires AND wheels.
I'd really consider them at $500 for the set, but not at $1000; although I have a different use for them altogether (almost scrapping the tires).

BTW, I priced remanufactured wheels (meaning they are stock Ford wheels, remanufactured) and they were MUCH less than that. So, if you want the tires, go for it, but you might call a few tire/wheel places and price wheels for your truck. If the wheel price is $1000 then it might be worth it, otherwise I think he's hundreds of dollars too high.

If the tires were not Contis I'd say go for it. I had the Conti tracs off and replaced by 3000 miles. Poor traction wet or dry, awful in the snow, vague grip, more like a passenger car tire definitely not for a truck. I would go so far as to consider them unsafe.

Same here. I have 35k on the Michelins already and they still have about an easy 13/32" tread left. I wouldn't be surprised if I get 75-80k out of them. Only complaint is they really hold onto small rocks and pebbles.

I paid $450 for stock 18s (not lariats, the 8 hole ones) and two bald/two new conti's. Sold the tires for $200 to Discount. I had to drive 750 miles round trip, so he dropped the cost some for me for that, but $1,000 is way more than I'd pay.
At $750 I'd do it.
