I never pay more than $60 ea. for new tires and they have always been wonderful, whether Yokes, Sumitomo, Dunlops or some other Japanese or Korean brand that starts with the letter A that I purchased form Just Tires. The industry is so compettive that you don't have to really worry anymore, IMHO.

OK, just bought brand new tires for the 190D, got another 190D that needs new tires. The 140 diesel will need new tires soon. The 140 I just picked up will need new tires if I keep it. The trailer probably should have new tires. The big dollar one is the truck, its going to need new tires

Everything except disposal fee -- I kept the old tires to give to Debbie's brother (he is building a hot rod). Didn't get any special (road hazard?) warranty other than the 80,000 mile warranty that comes with the tires. Yea, they were pricey but should be the only tires I ever have to buy for the
