If you find one, please pass on the info. I'm in the market as well. I am trying to find 245/40/18 at a good price. I found one site that has 225/40/18 at $199, but the 245/40/18 is $250, WTF? I have gotten my local dealer down to ~250 per, but that isn't that great.

Found a place. aimtire.com
There out of Sonoma CA. Price wise they beat everyone else by at least $50.00 a tire. I couldn't believe it! They saved me over $200.00. Just goes to show it pays to ask. I love this website!!

There is only one place to buy them from and price wise, no one else can compete. These guys supply the SPEEDTV series:

VILVEN TIRE at 101 W. MAIN ROYAL, IL 61871,(800) 251-0017

Hmmm, I actually tried AIM and they were about $100 more for a set. Vilven includes shipping and shaving in their price. Plus, with Vilven you are getting the newest tires, not some year old rocks.

I just called aimtire and for the 245-40-18, they are more than vilven. They are barely cheaper, but do not include shipping or shaving. What sizes were you looking at and who did you talk to there?
