Are you keeping that swaybar on? It'll do more for you if you cut it up and put the pieces inside your tire rods.

That's a great price. I was looking at their 30x11.5x15's, but they spec a 10" rim. Awesome prices. Definitely a bookmarked page.

Thats BS. Is that regular price? If those tires are still posted next week, then call them back to let them know that the BBB will be calling next. What they did to you is illegal. Plain and simple.
