You should target no more than $100 per tire

If the tires are still within their wear life, they probably don't need replaced. I had a set of TOYO LT tires on my 04 Dodge Ram 2500. They were made in 2006. I sold the truck a few months back, with the same set of tires on it. Yes, they were dry rotting, but they held the road just fine. I used the truck for trips to the dump and to plow snow. Neither of which involved getting more than 20 miles away from home so I kept them on there. They had probably 40k miles in 15ish years and still almost an 1/2 inch of tread left.
