Purcell Fairbanks recommended against the HD60 "rock tires." They recommended Kelly Tires $2986.

2x Steer Kelly Armorsteel MSA TL H $404 Tires + $29.39 FET + $38 mount + $20 balance + $8.50 valve stem + $2.50 state new tire fee ($470.50)

4x Drive Kelly KDA G $420 + $25.23 FET + $38 mount + $8.50 valve stem + $2.50 state new tire fee ($469)

They'll mount two of my spares for $50/each on old used wheels they have for spares.

That's for 4 tires. What are you planning for the steers?

I've heard mixed things about siping. I was originally planning to do it but now think I'll avoid it.

On-road/off-road or the Kelly tires that the Fairbanks Purcell recommended? If I was staying in Alaska, the Uniroyals are a no-brainer, but I'm unfortunately more limited in where I can go off-road in the lower 48 after air finish my initial drive.
