Buying tires from 4wheelparts online?

I'm looking to buy 4 BFG all-terrain t/a ko size 32x11.50r15 and right now 4wheel parts is having a sale 10% off and free shipping I can get all for $440.36 shipped to the door. Has anyone ever bought tires from them online before, any good, bad experences? I've never bought tires online before so I'm kind of skeptical.

I'd say take the sheet with the price to discount tire and they'll match/beat it.

Damn, that is a hell of a deal. I hope it's not a bait & upsell.

I bought my wheels and tires from them. Didn't have any problems. And the shipping was really quick. I got them two days after ordering (i live in CA). Mounted and everything.

4WD Parts

I bought tires from them a year ago and was happy, had no problems. They do what they say they will do.

The cheapest place I could find to mount and balance my tire/wheel package was the dealer! Strange but true. Call around and see what you are looking at as far as mounting/balancing and perhaps the Discount Tire route will save you some money.

The places here want between 730 and 850 for the tires mounted and balenced. I'm going to try and get some one to price match tomorrow, if I cant, then I think I will order them and have a shop just mount and balence, shouldent be more then 100 dollars or I could do it myself, I've done it before.

When i worked at UPS we shipped tires all the time through the hub. Theyll be good shipped and there really hard to lose if ya know what i mean haha and the labels are usual placed well and dont easily fall off thus losing in transit. Ide say go for it

A lot of the cost of new tires is mount and balance. They get you for well over $100 for the set to have them mounted and balanced.

Buying from 4WP you aren't paying for mount and balance, so of course its a much better deal.

HOwever, $110 a tire shipped to your door is cheaper than you will find them anywhere else. ASSUMING they are the same treadwear, and load range. Remember, the less the load range, the cheaper the tire. Be sure to make sure they are the EXACT same time before starting comparisons.
