Treadwright.com

I don't know about any of the major retailers. I've never bought from them.

My friend bought treadwrights and has had no issues. He went with their "puma", had to take it to 80psi to get the bead to seat! When it did, "BOOOM." They have been holding up great, I could see me buying a set in the future. Tirerack.com has a huge selection for more $.

Could be u joints. They wear quicker at steeper angles. I'd check all 5.

Also when I'm getting a lot of clunking when I turn, doesn't the steering linkage have a u bolt in it?

U joint*yes on inside both knuckles. They could be binding and causing issues.

It has a u joint, but I have never heard of it going out. The clunk is probably either play in the steering box, or the drag link rolling because of a worn out tie rod end.
