i paid 170.00$ each for 5 and i think it was 25.00$ each for shipping from fla. to albany n.y. that was back in june. it's slow going getting them mounted and balanced.it's very expensive here.15-20$ to dismount each tire at a tire shop. i tried doing it my self but after 3 hrs. i only managed to get one split ring off!everyone was right take them to a tire shop! tubes are 20$ ea., flaps are 15$ea. the rims were absolutely a mess inside( i suspect they were the original tires from 1946!)so i'll need to have them sandblasted (not sure what that will cost me)so , a little at a time and i'll have them done. very expensive but i wanted the tallest,narrowest(without going to 20 inch rims)and the heaviest weight rating i could get.the down side is the wheel tire combowill tip the scales at 130 pounds each at least!any way good luck!i think you will be satisfied, jim.
