I want to say they were about $500 per wheel including wheel+tire+mount/balance+shipping but I'm not positive -- they have the prices on the website. I went for the cheapest wheel/tire combo with the highest load range on the tire I could find . I wanted to go 225/70 instead of 245/70 but the highest load range they have there is load range G, and the price was the same as H so I said what the heck.

I went with the 19.5's because my truck camper put the rear axle weight over the 16 in. tire weight rating.

Now I'm not only safely within tire weight ratings, but the handling is much better with these stiff sidewall Range H tires.

Grand Geek, a local TDR member (in Edmonton) had 19.5's made for him locally. I could introduce you to this member and he will explain all the benefits. He tows a Kustom Koach "Roughneck" fifth wheel through the mountain passes and would never go back to an LT tire again. PM me if you are interested.

Thanks NJ, That sounds pretty good, not too much more than how much I have in my combo
Hows the ride quality of the 19.5's ? Any rubbing?
Thanks again
Scott
