NW WA Meet / BS Thread

Sonofabitch! Been shopping around locally for tires and they want anywhere between $1450-$1700 for the tires I want! Online $1100-$1200. I want buy at a local store for the tire hazard and free rotations (which add up over every 3k miles) but this is ridiculous!

 

Doesn't "Discount Tire Direct" (online) work with "Discount Tire" (local)?

I just buy all my tires used. I am currently looking for a set of BFG A/T in 285/75R16 but even the used is pretty high price.

 

I don't buy them with less than 70% of the spec tred and I mount/rotate them myself for super cheap.

I have pro comp extreme all terrains right now. I'm probably around 30k with plenty of life left.

I should probably mention I bought them with 90% tred and they were basically free.

 

I got my last set of tires on Amazon, mount/balance/rotate for life from discount tire, included in mounting fee.

 

hmmm wonder if I can order 42's off of Amazon. seeing how as when they are that big there is no balancing them or road hazard for that matter.

 

No discount tire here according to the website, and I ain't driving to another town just to have rotations done. FML

 

Amazon sells 42" boggers with free shipping. SOLD!!!

 

What happened to 44" tires?

 

I bought my 37's from summit racing, free shipping.

 

have you seen the cost of the 44's?? holly fuck they are like $800 per tire. I can get a set of 42.5X13.50R17 boggers for 2390.80 with tax and shipping


Edit: just checked summit 44X19.5R17 priced at $839.97 + $149 shipping puts the total cost at 3508.88 so is 1.5 inches worth the extra grand?? I don't think so..

 

Depends how deep the hole is...

 

Found the nitto trail grappler m/t 285/75r16 for $1170 a set! Commercial tire here is getting them for me I think it's a great deal

 

Discount tire near me total price out the door $1162.13 for the same thing, 4 tires.

You may want to look into 5 tires to replace the spare. It could really suck being on the trail with a flat, and have to put an undersized street rated spare on.

 

But then I'd need another wheel too, chit adds up

 

Spare rim works fine.

 

I am definitely getting a spare tire next time I get a set. Especially with tires that are harder to find. Pro Comp Extreme All terrains are cool but you can only get them certain places.

Same with the rims I am getting (Konig Countersteer Offroad). I will definitely be spending the extra cash up front for an extra rim, just incase. But then again, those can come later.

 

I suppose, if I blow out a front switch a rear to the front for the clearance of UCAs and then throw the spare on the rear. What's the biggest tire that can be stuffed under the bed?

 

I have seen 33" with minimal Modification and 35" if you chop the exhaust.

 

Cool, 33's are what's coming in. Wheels are the next challenge. Not about to wait til November for the scs sr8 so it'll probably be fuel trophy or method racing
