Try Roger Kraus Racing $514 and $569. Tires go up with the price of oil. In February I was quoted $700 for 6 tires for my truck. I waited until October and paid $950.

Tom...I don't know how much oil is used in 6 tires but i'm sure its not a whole barrel which is currently about $100 a barrel.
To justify a $250 increase because of oil cost [if they used a whole barrel] a barrel of oil would be $350, and diesel would be $14 a gal.

Hi John,
I really don't know what is going on, but I have been going to the same tire guy for the last 30 plus years. He is without a doubt the most inexpensive guy around me. In February I needed tires for my one ton dually and my Totorhome. I could not afford to buy them both at the same time but got quotes for both trucks. He told me he would only guarantee the price for two weeks because oil was going up and price increases were at least once and sometimes twice a month.
So I decided to bite the bullet and put tires on the totorhome, and they ran me $1800 in Feb. complete with installation. I just looked up the price of those tires, and the best price I can find now is $2300.
So I really don't know what is going on but I do know I am paying more for tires now than earlier in the year. On another note, they say we are not in an inflationary period, but I would disagree on what I have paid for tires. LOL.
