Tires

[tjfslaughter]

I am kind of new here! I am in the market for new tires, does anybody have an in the business connection? I am looking at tire rack and some of the other online resources...... Tire Rack has good deals but you end up paying $120+ to have them mounted and balanced.......

Thought I would ask around.

What are you looking for?

I have a wholesale account with the Tirerack, am jjuuuuussssttt a little sympathetic to Rover's owners, have a Corghi rim clamp and an Accurate tire balancer.
I am also in Africa until mid- April.
How long can you wait?

[tjfslaughter]

I will have to take that into consideration. I was hoping to have new tires around March 1. Frank B. has an event on the 7th and Robesonia is also coming up.

I will do a little more research, but most likely I will wait till you get back.

Does anybody have suggestions other than the BFG All Terrain T/A's for a daily driver???

I'm a tall and skinny tire guy myself, so you may want to ck out the 255/85 as another option.
A stock D could handle a 285/75 as another tire size option.

Bridgestone REVO is a great A/T. I think they have a higher tread wear rating than the BFG AT, handle standing water very well, reasonably good in mud and snow with lower pressures. Not cheapest, but I think a good value.

As another comparioson, check Interco tires. There Truxxs M/T is a solid tire, reasonably round, and surprisingly good road manners.

That is a good price with the sale on but I can get them to your door for about that somewhere around $175

I'm pretty happy with my Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs. If I'd bought the tires, I'd probably have leaned towards the BFGs...but the truck came with the Wranglers, and they were good enough that I wasn't spending money to replace them! (Well, ended up replacing two last year, so now I'm really stuck with them.)

But they're not bad on the road...and I've hammered a lot of highway in them. They have also worked well in my limited off-road pursuits.

From my understanding, they're not the best tire for conditions in this area...but I'm happy.
