that's why I googled them - after your comments but I'm not $200 a tire guy.
As to service... pretty chep & they rotate me with my oil changes.
Example
I pass by the gomero regularly to check pressures - every month or 2.
Today, I had a flat.
My man pumped - I drove 4 minutes to the gomero.
Fixed in 10 more minutes
Home in 20 minutes all in -
100 pesos.
Hard to beat.

you can liken it to our stove purchase..
watch how many would squeal at $300 to ship....
some of these guys save pennies and lose dollars (IMO)

That is a different 10-ply tire for Light Trucks, not the same tire, although the tread is the same.
Here is the CF1000 chart. Ours are 255/70-R16. The ones you found are the LT at the bottom.

Did your tires get shipped yet ? I'd like to know how you shipped them and final costs for everything
3 arrived today- the single arrives Wednesday.
... in NYC at Awilda
$150 is the quote until he sees them.
I've done this twice before...
Take a look at Simple Tire ... good prices and service.

all 4 tires on and running...
Interesting Point
The 3 tires on Super Sale were identified as '2014 Production'... and there were only 3 offered .
I Googled tire shelf life and got 6yrs.... OK... these are a bit less than 4 yrs on the shelf.... early 2018
My installer gave me the car back y'day and mentioned how hard the tires were to get on the rims....
Hmmm, my detective mind cranked over....
I asked if all were difficult or just 3 ??
Just 3 , he said.
So, like all older things - flexibility and suppleness can suffer
Tell me about it !!!
Just thought I'd throw that out to all you tire hounds out there.
The 3 deep discounts were $96 each ... the 4th was $156 (+/-)
So it was a deal....
Now the refurb JVC car stereo for SIRIUSXm and back up camera - that's another story

In the heat of the Caribbean the tires should have been pliable. Do they ride OK ?
Tell us your stereo / backup camera story.
Ride beautifully.....
It's not the temperature - it's the age of the rubber, I say ....
STEREO STORY
At Christmas , I bought the new package for the new car...from Crutchfield =
JVC stereo w/ screen (refurb w/ guarantee)
Back up camera
SIRIUSXM receiver (free after $70 rebate and 90 free trial)
Wiring harness preassembly
Whole deal
Well,
the MU-X is the Asian model - Not USA/Canada
Wiring harness didn't fit ($28 down the drain) - new harness bought
All went well
Rear Camera = perfect
BlueTooth the same
But the unit wouldn't hold the time. wouldn't remember channel selections. wouldn't receive SIRIUS
Naturally, I suspected my trusty installer (my go-to mechanic in Nagua)
I called Crutchfield
The initialization screen came on every time '
Language selection, reset time, etc.....infuriating
They said no, not the install - a unit problem = send it back... money back guarantee
So - back to Nagua and pay for the uninstall to let my wife carry back to US for return.
By the time I finish installing & uninstalling the radios (new Pioneer on order from Nagua mechanic)
my refund will be eaten up.... $200 deep discount JVC refurb
Good news was a new dash faceplate was easily found in RD for the MU-X
Seems everybody swaps out old radios for the new ones w/ screen and rear camera.
Life in RD -- keeps you hopping !!!
As we say -
the hardest things are easy
The easy things are almost impossible
It's not the temperature - it's the age of the rubber, I say ....
