Tire Rack Special Close Out on 235X50X19
I just bought a set of 4 close out 235X50X19 Dunlop Grandtrek MO s from Tire Rack at $226 per tire & shipping. They had a limited supply of the OEM's. The new tire replacement is $324 or so.

I saw their ad and took it to my local Discount Tire Co where they beat the price by $5 per tire with no shipping charge!
Now, I see that Tire Rack has them on sale at $220.20 plus you get a $50 rebate card. (Put in the cart to see the price.)
These tires don't seem to be as rare as some would lead you to believe. The Discount guys had no trouble getting them.

I'm with Mmr1.
I was not impressed with the OEM Dunlops. 10,000 miles and 4/32nds were already gone from the 10/32 factory tread depth. YIKES! And that was mostly hiway miles. A 20,000 mile tire for that much?
I have been happy with my TOYO Versados. They are non-directional, So are easy to rotate and wear evenly from reversing tire spin direction at every rotation. And the TOYOs are not run flats. Which is a good thing.

I'm coming up on 4 years now and 50,000 miles later I still have the same tires on my E350 2012. I bought my car from the original owner who put a set of these tires on after he blew through the original tires; his buddy who owns a tire shop said since its your daily driver you don't need Z rated tires. I'm impressed with the Good Year Eagle Sports. When he sold me the car he put a new set on and the only thing I noticed is that they are louder than Z rated tires but are lasting great. With these tires I average between 26-31 MPG depending if its rush hour or not.
