As one Old Tanker to another here is my internet experience of
buying tires and rims off Ebay. I bought a set 12 years ago from
Tucker Tire. He was selling 8 plys. I asked if he had 10 ply and
he said no. I bought the 8s and once he shipped them he let me
know they where on the way and he had a surprise for me. Once
I got them I looked and found they where 12 plys. After 12 years
they are still going strong and with no signs of cracking. They
have aways been kelp out side. Now he might not do the same
for you. But I think that shows him to be a good person to deal
with. The price of the tires since then has gone up about $500.
But shipping still is Free. I had also bought another set of used
ones off Ebay not to long ago. They were located in a spot I
could pass by in my Semi and pick up with no extra miles. Even
though they were listed as used. You could only tell one had
been used at all and very little. The other didn't look used at all. I
think he had bought one then 6 months or so later bought the
other and about that time the tractor gave out on him. Rims were
new too. They were $400 for the pair. If you have the time you
might come up with a good deal off Ebay or Craigslist. Check to
see what the local shops will charge you too. Was a guy
(ronapreston) on Ebay selling really cheap Blemished tires. I don't
see a listing for the right size now. But he does say, " If you don't
see the quantity, size or brand you are needing, email us or call
1-888-513-8473 and we can create a listing for you."
