5 X 265 75 16 - $750.00 plus 65 - 110 for shipping

Damn. I can get Cooper STT 235/85's for that locally. I just priced them Friday.

I priced 265/75/16 maxxis buckshots in Louisville KY for 600 for 5 mounted and balanced and he was going to knock off some for buying my old tires.

i just went to a mom and pop and got some no-names put on my rig. i never drive it so i dont care. but i also had hankooks and they were great and lasted along time. the bfg mts didnt last long enough at all to spend that kind of money.

The problem is so many of these tires are only available regionally. Once I have to pay to ship Maxxis Tires to Ohio, they are no longer "cheap." Same with Hercules Tires.

Sift through, see what you can get in your area, but I do agree, the money you save short term, more often than not you'll lose in the long term...

ebay one does free shipping. I bought four maxxis bighorns 32x11.5x15 for less than $600 shipped when I bought mine.
four 285/75/16 are $625 shipped. email them and tell them you want 5 instead of 4... who knows you may get it for less than $800 shipped for all 5. I'm not trying to start any drama, I thought they were great tires for the price.

are those high tech retreads legit??

are those high tech retreads legit??

I was wondering the same - poked around on their site some.

 

[crolison]

my vote is bighorns, i am going to go for those (255/85/16) when i get my stimulas check

 

[Bannon88]

are those high tech retreads legit??

I say yes, I've had a set of 265/75/16 lasted over two years.

I then bought a set of 285/75/16 and love them.

No problems, and I know of no one else on this site that has knocked them.

I've read several threads here in the past and some people swear by them. I guess the green shit in them is pretty nifty.

For a cheap bastard tire, they can't be beat.

I may try them out....I switch my tires when I go offroad, so they may work fine.

 

[discoveryfreek99]

i want to spend no more than $130...how much are BFG ranges?

[discoveryfreek99]

[discoveryfreek99]

[gmookher]

i just got a brand new maxxis bighorn $142 plus shipping 255/85 didnt see that as a retread size, maxxis is bigger than hercules, partially siped and drilled for studs and ceaper, the new bfg is $189

 

[Roving Beetle]

I like the re-treads but they do not have them in a 255-85-16

I am on the fence with my new tire selection as well.... studded snows need to come off soon - of course my truck is still warm and dry in the shop as it's been for months now.:banghead:

I will most likely end up buying the Cooper ST's in a 255-85-16 online for about $640 for 4 of them to my door. Pretty cheap and they are a very good tire from what i understand.

Mounted on some steelies with about 4.75 or 5 inch backspace to push them out a little more and they should be nice.

 

[bmn1965]

I running the cooper discoverer STT and like them so far.

 

[discoveryfreek99]

would anyone recomend a 285/75/16 over a 225/75/16

what is better 8" or 9" tread width???

 

[discoveryfreek99]

i take that back 180 is my limit...i thought that size would be cheapish...not really

 

[ausdisco]

do you have a lift?
do you have a stock drivetrain?
i wouldn't recommend over 32",say "265-75-16" for example,with a stock drivetrain especially if height is std.
