I bought mine from Universal tire in Hershy Pa. They Fed ex'd them. You may want to re think the XL's on ebay. Better ground speed and traction on wet roads.

I'd have to respectfully disagree with the 'better traction on wet roads' comment regarding XL's. Better ground speed - yes, as the 11.00x16's are ~39.7" tall when new. Big lugs don't make for better wet/dry road traction. On these trucks, XL's make for 'squirmier' handling, especially when compared to same size Michelin XZL tires.

I finally got my tires. I went with a set of Power Kings. Heavy lug and they do look good on my truck. I pulled the wheels off and ran them to Gateway Tires here in Cincinnati and they hooked me up. To keep the cost down a little I told them that I would keep the old tires, tubes and liners. Now on to the next issues.
