Approx. $158.00 for a 275-40-17.
I just priced two tires shipped, $317.00.

Seem To Be A Pretty Decent DR.

I've got Toyo's Proxes on my car now, and they hook pretty well, so I guess these DR's are going to be getting good user reviews.

The Pricing Isn't Too Bad Either.

Sounds like they are new, so it will take awhile before we see some reviews and results. I was close to getting these but I found a good deal on a set of M/T DR`s. It would be nice if they last as long as the Nitto DR`s and hook as good as the MT DR`s.

Yea, I hooked up on a pair of slightly used MT ET street radials myself. These look like a great daily driver though.
