19" Mt/r

[RVRSRVC]

I've received confirmation that the container with our order of 19" MT/R's is in Philly! As soon as they clear customs, we'll get them here to Hershey and figure out what to do next.
I'll post another update soon.

Trevor, sorry if this was posted before, I'm new here... How many are you receiving, and do you have a ballpark pricing on them yet? I know of a handful of Sport owners "stuck" with Brembo brakes (nothing smaller than 19" rims will fit over those calipers) who would just about kill for a set of 5 MT/R. Also, would you know their load / speed rating - I read conflicting info on UK forums - and they are DOT listed, aren't they? Thanks!

My friend/customer, Todd Wilfong, has several Sports and D3's and he is the one that has organised alll this and has the details.
I will confirm all of this tomorrow, but I believe he ordered enough to fill a 20 ft container; he's going to Philly on Friday to get them out of customs/dispatch; they are DOT listed; and final pricing has yet to be determined, but I think it's around $405 each.
Again, I will confirm the specs and details tomorrow.

Well, I was a little off. The container hasn't arrived, just the first shipment of 10 tyres. They are DOT, Made in Germany, "S" speed rating, Extra Load, 19" MT/R.

I mounted mine last week and they ROCK!!! The full spare and all. Don't even think about going in mudd with those stock GY's....

Wow...but $405 each is a tough pill to swallow....

I have the 19" MT/R's on my "05 HSE and I wouldn't go offroad without them. One caution though, if you live in a cold climate that gets ice and/or snow swap the M/TR's out for the winter. They are not ciped and as a result they slide all over on any slippery surface (even with all the fancy stability controls).

Hey LR3invancouver, I'm on the Island. Where did you pick up your MT/R's?

 

[LR3invancouver]

The dealership I bought the truck from imported some from Germany for a group of German tourists who wanted to do some Wheeling while they were in BC. When they were done they offered me a set of 6 with about 25% tread wear. I got all 6 for $450 (installed!). If they had more I would have bought them all but they kept a set for themselves and that was all that was left.

I had a set on my '03 G4 RR, had them siped for about $7.50/tire @ Discount Tire, and loved them. In fact, anyone looking for a spare set of 6-spoke 19" alloys with very few scratches, let me know via pm- make a reasonable offer.
