Ya they price match but it doesn't include shipping. I went througt this about a year ago when I got mine. Lots of places will price match but it doesn't include shipping. Most tire places don't like to deal with interco. Disscount tire said they are a bunch of hillbillys.
I found one guy on pirate that was within a few dollars of 4WheelParts with shipping.

I've gotten 4WP very close to Sam's per tire price. I didn't pay shipping, and did pay tax. It works out.

Wow, that doesnt look bad at all Crash.
While we're on this topic, I have a couple cuts or tears about the size of what Crash posted (little longer actually) in my Iroks, but theyre not all the way through. Just deep enough that when wet you can see them bubbling. Id like to have them fixed if possible, but whats the best way to do this? Or, where can I take them?

****, thats nothing. Jam a couple plugs and some cement in there, stick a patch on the inside and peel out. I've been running an SX with a sidewall cut bigger than that for 3 years and Binder ran it for a year or two before I got them. The patch finally failed this spring, I repatched it and they are ready to go again.

Sorry to hijack, but I have some 38" TSL's on the back axle one of my trucks that have some really small seeping sidewall cuts. They hold air okay but need to aired back up every week. Should I just jam some plugs into them and call it a day?

The patch that was on it Rick did, but it looked like a standard parts store 2" patch. This was a rear tire that I run 0 psi in for snow on a hummer beadlock. My hole is very close to the bead and it looked like the beadlock insert chafed a hole in it, I think that is the only reason it failed.
When I re-did it I buffed the old patch off with a wire wheel. Then I filled the cut with some tire cement, and put 2 plugs in it. When it dried, I cut the plugs off flush and put a 2" patch on the inside. I also stuck a patch on the outside because there is a fairly big "flap" to the cut and I was thinking it would keep it from getting snagged.
I would NOT patch a tire like this for a rig that sees the street. This is OFF-ROAD ONLY.

Sounds like you have the exact same problem I do. Im hesitant to try and "plug it" and cement it all up simply because if the "scratch" isnt all the way through yet, why make it? I would hope that theres a way to patch the inside or who knows what rather than opening it up even further?

I know how to patch the tread area of a tire, but it was my understanding from when I worked in tire shops (long before I started working for Uncle Sam's yacht club) that the sidewalls could not be patched because the tire flex would prevent it from holding properly. The TSL's are on a rig that needs to be driven to the trail as I don't have a towrig or trailer. I am thinking that I should just try and plug it. At the least I am sure that there is someone that would need these tires for their trail only rig.
