I've priced them out at around $1200(set of 4)!! and I can't imagine getting 40k miles out of these tires. Does anyone know of another tire manufacturer that makes this size and is worth the money? I appreciate all the help.

That's a 33.5" tire (almost)....and it's difficult finding it that skinny.
Nitto makes a Terra Grappler

in 325/60R18 for a decent price. It's slightly wider.
I've never run terra grapplers, but the other tires I've ran from nitto (555 and 555R) have both been very good.
I've found nothing but great reviews about the new Cooper LTZ series. Looks great, apparently has virtually no road noise and the wear is supposed to be above average. You can't beat the price of the tire. Unfortunately, you have to settle for more mainstream sizes though.
