I doub't you will find cheap tires for the LX470. The rim size is 18" if I am correct and there not many tires makes for the LX. Dunlop or Michelin LTX are the usual replacement.

I know the LX570 is $327 for 20" Dunlops from Dunlop.com...I think anywhere in the $200 is usual for the LX470

Good luck!

x3 on craigslist. The 07-08 Tundra use 275/65-18 and I'm sure many have upgraded their tires.

I purchased a set of 4 Pirelli tires on ebay from seller "DiscountTireDirect" and they gave me a fantastic price. Shipping was UPS Ground and only took 3 days to reach me, FREE SHIPPING in the Buy It Now price! I simply took the tires to my local Discount Tire and for about $200.00 they put their Road Hazard warranty on the tires and mounted & balanced them. I still came out about $300.00 ahead from walking in and purchasing from their brick and mortar store.

hankooks are good and so are kumhos if you're looking for a inexpensive but quality replacement. i've installed those brands on many high end cars whose owners are int eh same situation as you, and they all were impressed with the price and performance.
