I bought the tires on-line, Discount tire. They were considerably cheaper than locally and they had a rebate .
The tail light covers are going to go . Funny story ,my winter car is a Old Cadillac,it just won't stop running despite getting crashed and beat on.I have thought when it goes to the crusher I will keep the tail lights and put them on a truck . Well the last truck didn't get them and now I have the step side so I don't know if they are worth saving or not. I have not seen anyone put them in a step-side, maybe I should be the first.

Thanks. Yeah, I've bought from Discount Tire online before. They're hard to beat sometimes. Did you buy the road hazard certificates? That's my only concern. I never bought them with the BFG's I got from Discount Tire back in the day, & luckily I never had any mishaps. Buying locally allows me to have them serviced locally without extra charge if there's an issue. Of course I guess it would have to be a chain retailer & not a local tire dealer, otherwise that wouldn't be valid when we eventually move.

Good idea with the Caddy lights. What year? Pretty sure I've seen them on a stepside but will have to find some pics.

Another funny story, yeah I have about a million of them.When trying to buy tires locally I ran into well meaning salesmen who wanted to know the vehicle they were going on ,them wouldn't sell them as oversize.
I logged on to Discount tire via ebay and they went right thru. I don't know if oversizeing is a insurance issue, a government issue or just corporate policy.

Luckily I haven't had that issue yet. They've all just quoted the sizes I asked for. However, I have seen similar instances with online retailers where they ask what it's for. I just ignore them in the fact that they're not factory correct replacement sizes.
