    I like the way you did the silver lip on your wheels. How did you get it so neatly?

    Haha, gotcha. I think whenever I get the energy to re-do my wheels, I'll try and go that route. Right now they're just solid black derp (wasn't sure if I'd like them or not when I did it four years ago), and the only parts that are getting gross are right in that area, courtesy of the folks at the tire shop. So it'd be a somewhat functional choice.

    Yeah that was mostly my reasoning bc of wheel weights. Ive got a few knicks near the lugs thanks to pepboys but no big deal, barely noticable with all the dirt and dust

    I've had a set and have had several friends with them. They are a very very tame AT. They are well suited if you really don't do any off roaring. I would reccomend the RT. Which is a great tire. I do not know of anyone that has had anything but good things to say about them. However I will be buying the MT for my next set. I hate the BFG KO2. They ride like shit and in my opinion if they are not going to ride well on pavement then fuck it I would prefer to have a mud terrain tire. The BFGoodrich KO2 is an inferior to the previous model of the KO they balance out well for the first 10k miles then turn into square wagon wheels

    Hey guys, I need some help. I guess I could ask family first, but this is a better place to start ;)
    I'm looking to buy tires for my wife's car. I've always gone to walmart because it's cheap. after looking at reviews for tires for my truck I'll never go there again. Where should I go? brand opinions? nissan rogue. thanks.

    I use pepboys they almost always run buy 3 get 1 free (you have to buy road hazard for that and its like $12 a piece but i did get a brand new tire replacement for my wife car for just $40 since it was 2 years old).... However they are extremely slow so i recomend dripping it off and coming back in a few hours, even with an appointment

    We just got their house brand which is definity and they have held up well, almost 3 years and prolly have 2 left. They rotate them for free too but again it takes forever but i usually drop it off on my lunch and pick it up on my way home. I dont get it done often enough tho

    I had 235/85r16s and had no problem.

    Check out Americas tire, they do a good discount every so often.

    I just can't find anything that looks like it'll perform good on pavement and off-road I drive 75 miles a day for work so I gotta have good road ride but also like to hit the woods every now and then so would like something that will grip well and I am trying to stay low budget just looking now so as soon as I get money I can get them and also noise don't bother me the louder the better lol

    Consider the Falken wildpeak's. No proven track record, but decent price. I just put a set on. Haven't off-roader them yet because I upsized an have to clearance first.

    Oh heck no! I had a set of falken wildpeak A/T's when I bought the truck and omg those things rode like doodoo I got tired of spending money trying to find a tire shop that could get them to balance out. That is when I bought the KO2's and was very happy for the first 5-10k miles. I will be on the toyo train come tax season.
