well more then likely the ones charging for shipping are just adding more icing to the cake and the ones selling and shipping for the same money are still making good profit just not gouging . same tire from where i get my tires from would sell the same tire for HALF that price , BUT you will just have to get off your donkey and drive down and get them . Been dealing with the same guy now going on forty years . I was in need of four tires really bad and after calling EVERYBODY that i knew looking and NONE of them had what i needed i stumbled across this guys phone number not listed in the YELLOW pages but the white pages . It was just before Christmas snowing like all get out nd my plow truck was in need of some new hides . The prices i was getting from the ones that did not have them in stock were running between 130 to 160 a tire and this guy told me that he had my size and ply rating in stock and could do me for 70 bucks a tire mounted and balanced where the OTHER guys added in between 7.50 to 10 a tire . Jimmy told me if i could get down there by 5 he would stay late to get me fixed up . Well i went down in a snow storm slippen and sliden and i get there and he had five different tires lined up for me to pick from and the one set was radials for five bucks more per tire . At the time i was not radial friendly after the tire on the 75 Cougar . He said how about you just try them and if you don't like them i will pull them back off and put cord tires back on and refund the difference . BUT i know you will love them . Jimmy's place was a RAT HOLE and old run down ex gas station with two bays two beat up tire machines and two old balancers with vary little room to even walk five old semi trailers FULL of every size and brand tire two old beat up pick ups with home made thrower rack beds and four floor jacks and two air wrenches and four employees. I got there like five min. before five in a snow storm spent five min. deciding on the tires made my pick and went radials and pulled my truck up to the doors and before i could walk into the old dirty office and stand next to a space heater they had all four off the truck and old tires off the rims and the new ones going on and by 20 after five i was writing the check and heading out the door to the truck as they were putting the last tire on. I gave 75 a tire for Copper 12.5 x 33x16.5 ten ply mounted balanced and out the door . Lost touch with him for two years when i did not need to buy tires and he had moved and i had no idea where . I ran into him one evening at home Depot and asked if he had gotten out of the business and he said ah no i just moved , a little feather down the road to a bigger rat hole but now he can get you inside not outside like he did before . I needed tires for the wifes Durango and was about to pull the trigger and give Sam Walton more money to the tune of just shy of 210 a tire and i called Jimmy and like always Jimmy said bring it down and this time for the same tire as what i WAS going to buy from SAM'S club Jimmy mounted and balanced out the door for 90 bucks a tire . Last set of Ag tires i bought were the 18.4x34 FIRESTONE RADIALS lets see you beat his 790 bucks mounted and loaded with new tubes on the FARM as he can now do on farm .l Nothing fancy here old beat up one ton a Johnny Cash air compressor a Harbor Freight air wrenches a used hyd. bead buster and a hand full of rebuilt jacks and a new Cal pump . Really steppen up here . Back when everyone around here that was into pulling old tractors and the new rules allowed the 16.9x38 you could not find a set and if you did some places were getting 650 a tire . Called Jimmy and asked and he said you can't find them BUT give me a couple days i was about ready to call him when he called me and said i have your tires and when i asked how many green stamp books i need to bring he said 269 per tire including new tubes. He showed me his invoice and he made 40 bucks on the deal and he did not have to go after them as they came in with a semi load of tires . so he had a phone call and had to move the tires around a little invested in that sale . One must shop around before one pulls the trigger . Just because it is online does not mean it is a good deal.
