Northern KY or Cincinnati trucks???

Haven't look into the bed liner stuff, I'll check that out today while I'm at Pep boys.


I'm leaning towards flat black myself. I really liked how the flat gray primer look.

 

I see you took your shoes off in the process, things must have gotten serious!

 

I haven't heard of bed lining the wheels before. Sounds awesome though, I wonder if it would cause balancing issues though?

 

Haha my arms got tired so I started painting and sanding with my feet!

 

Maybe try like a gunmetal color? Try it on a wheel and see what you think.

 

Anyone on here know someone that can get them good prices on tires and would be willing to hook me up???? I think in the spring I will be due for a set, so I want to start looking to see what my options are.

 

X2 but sooner for me!

 

If I would have known about www.treadwright.com before I bought my tires, I would have gone that route. They specialize in retread tires, and the pricing is amazing. I haven't been able to find any bad or negative comments about the company or the tires the sell. Almost all of the tires they offer are BFG cores that are retreaded with the exact same tread patterns that BFG offers.

 

^ Those are so cheap!!!!!!!! Its almost like it to good to be true, it makes me a little nervouse!

 

I've actually been back and forth with a TW member who has them. He swears by them, has had them on since July, driven over 5k miles, and has had ZERO issues. I know people have a preconceived notion that retread tires are dangerous etc, but if they are done correctly, which treadwright seems to have figured out, they are just like any other tire. I'm wishing I would have known about them before I just bought my new set of tires. They offer a warranty as well, which is nice

 

Check out this thread here There are pics on page 2

 

They seem legit... I'm going to look into it a little bit more, but with the price of 100 per tire, you almost cant beat it!

 

Hey, my boyfriend Ben and his family run a tire business. It is called Wholesale Tire Mart in Shandon, OH near Ross and Okeana. They have great prices and can do whatever you want. Here is the website: http://wholesaletiremart.com/default.aspx

You can talk to him at the meet also. I am sure he would be willing to give you any deal he can.

 

not to be a debbie downer but, i wouldnt buy retreads for the fact that you dont know what the tires have been through, such as have they ever plowed a curb and damaged/weakened the belts which could snap at any time. just a thought.

 

I wil def. talk to him and see if he can help. Thanks!

I agree, I mean what if the tire had a huge puncture from a screw/nail or something. How do they handle that? With as much towing and the amount of weight that I do tow, that makes me apprehensive. Brake/Tires are the most important thing on a vehical and I very rarely go cheap. I really would like the new Goodyear Duratrac, but they are expensive 209 per tire!!!!! I have some time to figure it out, so I'm going to try get them for X-mass or my B-day which are both coming up!

 

Hey Neil, Ben wants to know what size tires you would need so he can price out the Goodyear Duratracs.

 

check out TireRack.com I was looking at getting some winter tires for the 3 and they seemed to have decent prices.
