From what I've read about them, they're a co-produced tire between Wally World and Goodyear. With that said, I've never had a good experience with a Goodyear tire. I've also heard that for the price they're selling at, you can get bfg mudterrains version 1. I know I got my Coopers for cheaper than they're asking, and they're just about as aggressive.

In that case nevermind. I wouldnt htink twice about them. Firsst the new tranny pushed back my tire funds. Now something else is pushing that and the desert back :roll: :roll: :oops:

No I havent bought any of that stuff yet. I have to pay all that by mid october! And ya tires can be that expensive but probbably 700 is more realistic.

Ah, I got my tires for a hair under $500... Like I've been saying... Onlinetires.com has a warehouse in Cerritos and dirt-cheap pricing... check them out to save money.

The ones I want would be the new Goodyear MT/R with Kevlar. Onlinetires doesn't have them on the web site yet, and when called, said it would be another 3-4 weeks. Then I can at least compare prices. But thanks for the lead.

No worries... as far as the delay from them, when I went down there, it was 1 big warehouse, and about 4 guys in an office... so they have crazy low overhead. Before them, I used to go tirerack.com and have the tire stores price-match them, but their prices aren't as great as they used to be.

Ya I want those too! I think i need something milder, and less on my wallet for now though.

Yeah, I would definitely do that. You can pretty much order from anyone online. Lots of them offer free shipping deals this time of year as well.

Nick's got a G80 and lift, but is 2WD. So it's not a great investment for him to get $1000 worth of tires.

Say - what about having vehicle summaries in the profile so we can instantly see how big the other folks "package" is without having to remember it all?

And I probably will invest more in better tires, but thats because I want something that will last and better tires will get me farther with the g-80 than crappy tires.
