needing new tires soon found this site (great prices)
There are only 2 problems with that site (I almost bought tires from them) the cost to ship the tires and if you want a higher load rating you wont get it.
I ordered my tires online, the only reason they were cheaper online was because they had free shipping.
I ordered load range "E" and got standard load range instead, to exchange them return shipping would have been at my expense.

30 dollars more a tire on that site versus where I got my Toyos.
You looking at 255/70/R16?
I know where you can get 5 Toyo Open Country A/Ts for 700 shipped. Lemme know if your interested and I will post the link tomorrow (it's at work). They ship fast also.

My Cooper S/T's were $600 for a set of 4 locally.
I bought them online for $420 with free shipping.
Mounting and balancing was $80.
I wish I had spent the extra $100 and got the 10 ply tire I wanted.
I loved my Toyo A/T's when I had them, they were great in the snow.
I love my S/T's more though.

I bet there is a big price difference between the 255/70 and the 235/70

Save and Buy Tires Direct @ TiresDirect.Net
It's $130 a tire (for the 255/70/R16 Toyos) versus $150 on that site the OP found. Now a few months ago, when I ordered mine, they were $120.
Now the 235/70/R16 is $120 a tire. So you would save 50 bucks on 5.
So you will pay $650+- + $90 to ship. Then pay someone local $60-100 to dismount, mount and balance all 5.
In the end, I paid $800 dollars total for 5 (700 to ship, 100 to mount and balance). I really wanted the Toyos though, they are good tires...
Also that site has the best prices on General Grabbers I have seen also. He specializes (warehouses) only a few brands, etc. Which is why his prices are so good.
Spike I replaced some Cooper STs with the Toyos. haha crazy! The Coopers were great though. I rode them down to almost nothing.

Has he had them looked at? Food poisoning maybe?
