I KNOW!!!! I couldn't believe it!!!!
They even agreed to extract my TPMS from my old tires, move them to my new ones, AND put the old one back together (with new non-TPMS stem, so that I can sell them).
I have already lined up a buyer for the set of 4 SR5 wheels + Bridgestone Dueller tires....
My out-the-door cost of the upgrade, IF THEY SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED, from stock-SR5-wheels/Bridgestone-Dueller to TRD-black/BFG-KO2 is going to be less than $700!!!! OMG, happy birthday to me!!

For what it's worth I went with LT275's on TRD 17" rims. I mounted up one and put it on the balancer and it wanted a quite a bit of weight, so I said screw it and instead of balancing them I used Magnum Plus LTP200 6.5oz balancing bags, one in each. To this point I've only drove it home (13 miles) but it's smooth as glass. I've never used balance bags before so I was skeptical but I am thoroughly impressed.

Jelly I AM!!!
I might actually eat my words down the road and slap on the KO2 275's with the TRD Wheels. Still waiting to see if [MENTION=114376]Mooney[/MENTION]'s 17x8" TRD Wheel prophecy comes true :hungry:First I've heard of these, and you've piqued my interest.
Will obviously do some legwork on these bags, but do you have a quick recap on the basics?
Lastly, were you using a RoadForce/Computer Ride Matching balancer (like a Hunter GSP9700 or similar)? I know RoadForce balancing and more specifically the fact they match the "High Spot" on the wheel to the "low spot" on the tire ends up with a "more perfect" circular diameter. Then the balancing these machines offer is second to none IMO.
Finally!!!
Have jumped thru LOTS of HOOPS to get here....
Last look of the SR5 wheels and stock tires:
Unboxing of pure beauty:
Their "sole mates" are waiting:
Somehow, the lighting do not do those wheels and tires justice!!!
Discount Tires are doing 40psi for both front and rear.... I kind of think that it is not enough..... what are you guys running???? (somehow I think 44psi is what I should be running them at)
I got these @ Discount Tires for $184each, and $865 with CA tax and installed (lifetime rotation, balance and repair, when possible). They were doing $209 a piece, and I asked them to offer the Discount Tires Direct Deal of $100 off a set of 4 tires. I also filed for the $70 BFG rebate, let's see if that will fly.

The brand is Magnum plus, check out there web page, they have a video explaining it. Basically is a bag of microbeads, once you start driving the bag breaks and releases the beads. Centrifugal force distributes them and they quickly find there way to the to te light spots and balance the tire out. It's a lifetime balance, put them in once and forget about them.
I was using a Hunter machine in a LT specific Road Force setting. Personally if Audi has approved the machine for R8s it's good enough for my 4Runner.

I think because of the BFG factory $70 rebate which Discount Tire is not a part of, they dropped their prices of 265/70R17 KO2 to $202:
Tire Details - Discount Tire
(But I am still gonna to submit to the $70 rebate program and see if it goes thru, I've got nothing to loose)
Now, for the $100 off set of 4, it was a Discount Tire Direct on Ebay Store deal, I printed that, and bought it into the store...... they are nice enough to be willing to match the deal by taking $25 per tire off their listed $209 per tire at that moment. (I was saying that if they are not going to match it, I will just order from discount tire direct or tire rack and ship to them for just the install)
I think that $100 off set of 4 deal is off now, but what I can do is to post my invoice here, so that you can try to print it and bring to your local discount tire, and ask for the same price (like your friend). Since the date is just yesterday, they may honor it; obviously, they have the ability to sell them at this particular price. It is generally more likely that they will be willing do it if you physically GO there rather than just calling them. Also, they are much more willing to do it if they have those tires "in stock" (so use discounttire.com to check the store's stock) and that they are not busy.
Good luck guys, let me know how that works for ya!

I'm not seeing the $100 off on the Discount Tire Direct website, but good for you for asking and getting that in the store. I wish I would have known that last week. Got mine last Thursday for $219 each. There was only a $30 rebate on four tires in store then. I also filed for that $70 BFG rebate that came out this past freaking Monday and of course it was denied. Thought I might slip my purchase in there since it was only 3 days before. Oh well. But you sure got a helluva deal!
The $100 off was on EBAY's Discount Tire Direct Store. Other members posted about it mid last week. I should have saved the image. I just printed out a copy, took to the store and they took it.
