Grant;
Found a great place in West Sac, at 3111 West Capitol Blvd. 916-371-5066  After hours916-869-5388, It is called "Radial Tire Center Inc". Aron nice kid put it all together. I went down got a price and they had a lot of tires in stock. They did it all in 1-1/2 hours. They also do mechanical work in the other bays. They have 4 pits. They do a lot of Commercial trucks.

The 11R x 22.5 Toyo's G rated they had in stock. He had 12R X 22.5 but only had 4 of them and said he could get the other 2 the next day. They had Alcoa's in the show room I think for 297.00 GCR wanted 400.00 for them.
Toyo's, Michelins, Hercules, Kumho's, and a bunch of other's.

GoodYear commercial is next door but was 800.00 more.

GCR on Richards Blvd. had FS 400 and FS 560 but wanted 1,200.00 more for those and only had 12 x 22.5 H

Grant tell him I sent you.

I am huge fan of Toyo I always used the 12rx22.5 on the Eagle one thing about Toyo when shopping for tires they will have 10 different variations of the same tire and the price will reflect the variations.I always bought the Japan made 12rx22.5 never once had a problem with one

good luck   

[Dave5Cs]

Ya well I thought I was too but when all was said and done i noticed that the side walls said in really small print "Made in China by Japanese manufacture". But hey for the price and 5 years Material, Labor, and manufacturer Warranted I guess not bad. When they checked the Date codes they didn't believe me when I said the fronts were 15 year old and the backs were 11. They were amazed they were still inflated. The one guy looked at the tread and asked me why I was replacing them and then the other guy pointed to the date code. His eyes I thought were going to pop out.

Was it the same tire ? the 12r x22.5 H rated 16 ply Toyos sell for almost 500 ea before all the rest of the add on was the best price I could find in the M170

[eagle19952]

8 new Toyo M170s ....uhmm....Dave only got 6.....

[grantgoold]

That is a big difference for two tires and one letter in the alphabet.

[Dave5Cs]

Clifford yes they were but for 6 remember I threw away 1 axle LOL
It was H and 16 ply on the FS 400 and 560 and only 2 in stock.
The Toyo's I got were 11 x 22.5 G 14 ply so there is some difference there. He said Toyo 12R x 22.5  16 ply would have been $2994.57out the door. $499.09 each date codes on the Toyo's are 2 months old.
The Firestones were $4194.34 for 6 $699.00 each with everything. Just couldn't see doing that.
