    Good News: Bought 2 brand new BFG AT KO's
    Bad News: They were $613.00 for the pair
    Good News: Tire shop offered to re-balance the front wheels, I said I've had them balanced 8 times but I still have a steering wobble. He offered to do for free so I said why not. Got my truck back, and wouldn't ya know it...no wobble! :)
    Bad News: I gotta buy another set of tires for the front very soon.


    Snapped this shot while the tire shop was mounting them. Went mudding last night, as you can tell. There's an Icon remote resi somewhere in there LOL

    I think these guys just weren't in a hurry, and everybody working there was loving my Taco. I got the guys name, I was pretty involved in the whole install today. At one point everybody stopped working and just started asking me questions about it. They got a kick outta the fact it was covered in mud, actually. I like to wear the mud, because out here, most Tacos never see dirt. It's a nice change of pace.

    Pulled a big 0l ' screw out of my tire and pulled out the spare for the first time. It's amazing the difference in tread on these rugged fails in only 15K miles! What a crappy tire

    I paid them $613.00 for two tires, if they gave me shit about the mud, I'd grab one of their free water bottles and splash a few drops on each wheel.

    ^$613! :eek: They better balance my shit for free and get rid of the wobble. That wobble gone is the reason why I'd be ok with the price. If not, you got bent. ​

    Yeah I was much happier after I got in my truck and drove off. That steering wobble I had was nuts...it was to the point where my passenger seat was coming loose from shaking so much on the highway. It's now completely eliminated.

    The $613.00 was including balance 4 tires, check Spidertrax torque, wire-wheel the wheel surfaces and ofcourse the lifetime warranty on the tires, meaning if anything were to happen to it I just bring it back and they swap it for free.

    Might have just needed a dynamic balance instead of a static balance. Fixed many 'tire shakes' just by balancing the tires the correct way.
