Truck tires, not the 5er

After close to 5 years and about 48K miles, I need new tires on my truck as the backs are real close to the wear bars.



OMG!! Sticker shock!


The Micelin Defenders that I'm using now are about 50 bucks more per tire. Then my installation quote from the guy who had been doing it via local mobil service went from $24/tire to a highway robbery figure of $50. He's no longer on my list of chosen local vendor$



It looks like I wont be using Michelins and will be looking at possibly a Toyo at about 65 dollars less per tire. Do you folks have any comments, plus or negative about that brand?



Note - did Simple Tire change their format and business model? I looked at their site and had problemsnavigating it with any ease as it was before.
