Friend needs tires for his 2wd Dakota, so we're talking 215/75R15 or 235/75R15 per the googles. He's trying to avoid used. I tell him beggars can't be choosers. Any leads you can throw me? He's in Northern Alabama.
Thanks in advance for any help.

If he doesnt mind running re-caps then I would say THESE would be best bang/buck.
I had some of these Treadwright re-caps on a F250 for a while and they did really well. Dont let everyone scare you away from re-caps, on passenger vehicles that dont haul 50,000 lbs they hold together pretty well.

Looks like you get 10% off, too.
Do a search on Amazon. My son just picked up two tires for his Venture for $58 delivered.
Something like this for $63 is round, black and holds air.
Check around with your local independent shops. I feel really good with the set Yokohama Geolander HTS I bought from a local independent shop. All 4 - mounted, balanced, new stems, old tire throw away charge, for $530 .... out the door..for my '99 4 wheel drive Suburban. Included all taxes etc. We've used him for tires for our bus, mower tires, personal vehicle tires. Build a relationship and you'll be surprised what they can do. I could have gotten Mile Master tires cheaper but when I saw what I could get the Yok's for it was a no brainer...to me anyway.
Thanks guys!
I really like www.tirebuyer.com
It is the website of American Tire Wholesale who is the company who bring the tires to local, independent shops. Since they already have a truck going to that tire store they deliver the tires for free to that local shop. You then pay that shop about $15 per tire for mount/balance.
I find a $40 to $70 savings on 4 verses any other methods.
My brother and i have run treadwrights for a decade on various things and have nothing but good things to say.
Came here thinking I was so clever about posting Treadwright. Guess I'll just get in line
How are the TreadWrights in the snow? I use my truck for plowing.. This year I got some take-offs at the local used-tire place, but it's cool to know somewhere like TreadWrights exists..

I was going to ask that same question. I was going to pick up a set of grabber AT2's and put them on spare wheels for the snow, but the prices on some of those retreads make think that may be the better way to go.
I have the wardens (BFG AT tread pattern) with Kedge Grip (walnut shells embedded in the tread) in 285/75-16 on my 4Runner. Seemed much better than my 265/75 Cooper Discovery AT3s in the snow.
Granted, I was just visiting Bend, OR for a week. I don't live in the snow. But it was below freezing the whole week and it snowed a good amount.

I had the Gaurd Dog's on my F250 and they did really well. i cant speak for plowing but even in 8"+ of snow i never needed more then 2wd.
