I've been able to buy tires from Sams Club/Costco & then take them somewhere else for mounting/balancing. For 265/75R16 just tell them you have a 1996 Chevy Tahoe 4x4 LT, because that is the OEM size for that model.
I sat back and enjoyed the fact that I have finally completed everything that needed to be done! Everything now works like it was new! Now to take her down to Mexico and have her roof painted (sunburned), and I should be able to kick back for a change and enjoy the fruits of my labors lol...

Was seeing 206-210F idle temps and 199-204F under load on my 2002 D2. Dropped in the 180F, and now 188F under load and 188-194F idle. Feeling much better!
Also, had a cracked bushing in the drivers door regulator. I did the Hllman nylon washer #881539 to replace it, read about it here, great $1 fix. It was preemptive, I did not want to have to do the repair in the middle of the winter.
Passed emissions and put plates on my wife's disco and it promptly started leaking from the water pump. I looked underneath to find the leak and noticed the front crankshaft oil seal was leaking pretty good too.
That's what I get for making the truck legal to drive.
