Anybody got a good connection up in north metro for tire mounting?

I'm fond of used great condition tires, unfortunately 265/75/16's are pretty popular and pretty much non existent on the used market.

There are sizes that are a common OEM size that are replaced <100mi after purchase... used to be that Dodge trucks would frequently buy Hummer tires/rims- after milling the hub diameter, they would fit perfect.
You gotta search for what else would fit... for that guy that bought used 285/75/16s to a tire dealer to find they wouldn't mount them on their rims... but you know one that will mount them on yours...

It's all about the clearance and the rim width/offset...

Well I know 285's will fit on the Xterra with nothing more than a fender well mod, but I'm not certain I'm ready to give up the gas mileage and performance of the 265 tire.
