Me too. I have used BFG Radial T/As for >25 years on various cars and trucks, but their prices have gone through the roof in the past few years. I saved nearly $200 on a set of four 255/70x15s Cooper Cobras vs. Radial T/As. The white letters don't look as cool as the T/As, but I run mine blackwalls out anyway.
Also, I think the Coopers make the truck handle better than T/As. Although I've never used the Coopers and T/As on the same vehicle, the Coopers feel like they have a stiffer sidewall and are more responsive to steering inputs.
Wow, $53 per tire difference at Discount Tire!
