Well, tirerack.com has them for $142 each.  That's $568 and $32 to get them balanced.  It looks like he might just be cutting you a deal on the mounting and balancing.

Must not be your favorite uncle.  Thats ok but not great.  I had 5 of the exact tire put on for $600 a few years back.

Arent treadwrights retreads?  You cannot compare a retread with a new tire's price...

Yes TreadWright is a retread...

Just Called...  Do you have 15 or 16" rims???

the 285/75/R16 is a 33X10.5

They don't have a metric for the 15" rim for that size... :brick:

I also would never run a retread if you plan on airing way down.
