I'm pretty sure I'm not the first to figure this one out, but once I found out which tires I was going to get I started shopping around and found a solution to my two biggest concerns: Price and service when traveling.
I found 275/65/18 Duratracs ranging from $289 to $244. The lowest price tires were close to my house in TX, but they had limited stores in the areas I travel the most, in and around Colorado and the 4 Corners.
I would hate to purchase a tire protection plan when my most likely place to need it would be someplace I couldn't use it.
Wal Mart as we know has shops everywhere, but their tires were priced at $277. Solution: Wal Mart Price match. I picked up 4 Duratracs for $244 a piece, saved a total of $160 dollars with the mail in rebate and now have the assurance that I can get a tire replaced/fixed more quickly and easily with the protection warranty when I'm thousands of miles from home.:coffeedrink:
