whats the best place to buy tires from

A tire Store!!

thanks

[bajabuck]

Do we have any tire dealers on here? I have been bouncing from Walmart to Discount depending on who's cheaper and what vehicle I'm buying for. Like most of us on this site I buy way more tires than the average guy. Between all my toys, quads, motorcyles, trailers, Rhino truck, Bronco and wife's car I would really like a tire dealer who knows what the hell he is doing. Of course a good deal wouldn't hurt either. Maybe there is someone out there who would like to be the GFB tire guy? Just a thought...

[bajascott]

f@#$ walmart

[bajabuck]

Yeah I hate walmat too. I guess that's your point Scott.? But they are (Unfortunately) nation wide so I can get tires replaced under warranty anywhere, probably even Oregon... Would love to find a solid dealer who knows his business. I would deal the warranty issues localy if I found the right tire guy.

[bajascott]

try big o they are everywhere arent they? i wish i could help you out more haha, i just got back from walmart thats why i said that! lol

What do you all think about the Mickey Thompson - Baja MTZ Radials?

Im approching the time where i need to figure out what my next tire will be so when i see a killer deal i wont pass it up.

I currentlly run BFG ATs n have had great all around performance but i hear good things about the mickeys and im starting to get more ambitious in my off roading, doing a metric $h&! ton of desert running with more and more rock crawling and mudding. So basically i need something that will bight in to rocks n good tread for the mudd but tuff-e-nuff to handle the bruital desert......

What are your guys's ideas?

ok i talked with my suppler last night and he agreed that if you want BFG,Falcon,Kumho or Generals he would give you the price i pay for them. for ex i just got BFG rugged trails 235,75,16 for 619 . the only thing is he cant mount them and you or i would have too pick them up. so if you want prices pm me and i will get back too you with the cost per tire

[Tchajagos]

Rugged Terrain or Long Trail? I don't see a Rugged Trail on tirerack.com. Did you get 5 for that price? Tirerack has the Long trails for $496 and Rugged Terrain for $512 (for 4) and shipping is only $67. Discount tire will price match tirerack but be careful which one you go to. Some will give you a story about shipping etc and try to charge you shipping AND tax and you won't pay tax to tirerack.

I have the MTZ's and like them. Good traction and they have held up well to the jagged lava rocks here. Friends have gotten a fair amount of miles out of them as well. I ran BFG muds before and I like the Mickey Thompsons better.

[Pre Run It]

Ok, so I have BFG Projects and was wondering has anybuddy ran a set of these on there DD and if so what time of mileage have they got out of them. Im thinking about pulling them and my current wheels and setting them aside for desert trips and running something a little more suitable for the street. They are actually pretty quite and drive fine once heated up but everytime I hope in the bronco they have flat spots.

[AussieRod]

You buggers have all the luck! I'm up for $1900 - 2200 for 6 35" tyres when I upgrade from 235/70's. Its MINIMUM $300+ a tyre here.....

They are not great in the rain! I have talked to a guy that ran the second design (16" size) on his work super duty and claimed he got 60K miles out of them. I can't imagine getting that out of the desert (15") tread style.

[philofab]

The Projects last a long time on the street but take a ton of weights to balance out, hold flat spots, and are horrible in sand, silt, and rain. The rain thing can be fixed if you have them siped.

[Pre Run It]

Thanks guys. Im still contemplating pulling them for something more versatile but for the time being will try to keep it off the road when its pouring rain.

*OK Tire* in Winchester. You might even see a nice Bronco there!!!

[BajaBronco13]

I run BFG All Terrain KOs on all of my rides. Best all around tire IMHO.

With jelly sidewalls.

I killed one 45 minutes after having it mounted. Not good for the desert.... but great for going to Starbucks in Laguna Beach!

Ha ha Ha I just caught this Philo. And get it straight, Laguna Hills my friend! I can't afford the beach area.

Baja TA, non Project tread.. How are they on the road? I think Andy "silverslk" runs them..

Yes, i do run them.

On road like all....horrible flat spots until them warm up. They sound like swampers but I have not had any issues with them in the wet (like so many do). It seems most that have problems have trucks and are light on the drive tires. The bronco is only 5 feet long so I havent had any issues so far.

That said.....when I hit the dirt, I could care less about the flat spots and noise. I "almost" feel I don't need a spare tire with me. hahaha

I love them and will continue to use them, of course, I don't drive it daily.
