I bought a 8000 mile used set of takeoffs of a 2015 Ram LT275/70/18 Firestone transforce mounted and balanced on chrome rims for $350. Those new truck guys often right away want a unique set of rims and big mud tires and almost just give away the stockers once they get tired of tripping over them in the garage or beside the shed. So I get taller tires which put the rpm at 1900 at 65, a nice quite highway ride, they still work just fine on the dirt mountain roads I go on including one particularly narly one in the prior mountains. $350 was probably a $500 savings compared to getting new taller tires for my 2004 17" factory wheels which buys a lot of diesel.
