My spare loadstar 225 75D 15 - w/ 6 hole mag is in transit now. Not cheap but lower than anywhere local. Even after shipping. Comes mounted.

I pretty much try to buy tires exclusively from Costco. Sams Club will do, if that's your thing, though...

I went to Les Schawb and got 205/75-14 trailer tires for $59/each installed.

Wow... I can't even buy a bias ply 205/75-14 tire for $59, let alone have it mounted and balanced for that price. Cheapest I've found in my area for 2 radials is $200-260, with mount, balance, tax, etc.

I've been looking for a month online and haven't come across anyplace that can compare to getting tires locally. The online tire price might be cheaper by 30%, but once mount and balance is factored in, the savings is not worth the hassle.

A few years ago I purchased 3- 15" tire/rim combos online, but then had to drag them down to the tire shop to have them balanced. They were not balanced by the online supplier and rode poorly.
