Interesting! I called the shop about 3 weeks ago to ask if they were having a rebate on BFG as I had learned on a different forum. Had them track down the sizes I wanted and quote them as well. They didn't indicate any issues with availability though. While the price was about 5-10% higher than what I thought, I didn't think they were too outrageous. In my John Hammond voice: "Spare no expense." In all serious though, these tires were always what I wanted to put on this truck, even 20 years ago, so I'm going to make it happen whether I like the price or not. I probably would've pulled the trigger on them right then, but I just dumped the same amount of money on a new AC compressor and brakes for my '03 daily.
