They can ship by freight truck which might help with the cost, but it still won't be cheap.

Try this place: http://www.coldwarremarketing.com/

I don't see tires on this site, but if you call them I'd bet the could at least refer you to someone else local.

This guy is on one of the JK forums. He's in CA, but may also be able to refer you to someone local,

And these guys are in Ogden, UT (found them when when I had my M35 "duece and a half" fantasy),

Again, maybe only for a referral.

I know there is a military auction site that lists Ft Carson. Search military auctions, might be able to track down a number on the base.

So, what did they cost? How much tread? Size? Did they mount them there?
They are just A/Ts? Did they have M/Ts?

No Transplant is not selling his, but he did get them from a guy off Craigslist and had to pick them up from the Springs somewhere.
