look at these cheap pepboy tires great price

[gmookher]

My rig tends to be heavily laden on my exploits, I went from E to D and missed the firmness..to each his own I suppose, I also air down more than others so I like the stiffer walls

I went onto a truck scale and came in at 6100 unladen,wet
I am sure with my fat ass and gear, dog etc, I get 7000

fuck that i like a 3 ply D or E load rating...

Having 3 ply's isn't everything. SSR's and TSL Radials are only 2 ply sidewalls.

And I am personally done with E range tires on my rovers. The yoko MT's I'm about to buy are C range but still have 2700 lbs load rating, my D range SSR's only had a 2800 pound load rating and they were just as stiff as my E range MTR's...

But if I had a heavy 3/4th or a 1 ton that I towed with then I would buy E range again, just not for a rover. But it is kind of a personal preference...

alright well my dad said that we should be able to pick up 5 of the 245/75/16 definitys in the next few weeks

the setup im going with is 2 inch rovertym springs with 2 inch procomp shocks with the 245/75/16 mt's with this setup will it look stock?..i dont want it to and one of the main reasons im lifting it is for looks...if someone pulls up next to me will they be able to tell that its lifted or will it just look like i have agressive tires

Even 265's look pretty small. If I was doing nothing with my rover than driving it onroad, I'd get the 265's though.

general grabber A/T on the LR3 and they perform well in sand, mud, no crawling yet, but soon. I will post with info on the grabbers and rocks in a few weeks.

Cheap tire, good on road, good off road.

The thing is I don't think he was going for the look of the AT... He just wants the tires for looks... as he said in the last post that he made

How much did you pay for your's? A local place quoted my $179 per tires on General AT2's. :ack: Thats a bit steep for me considering I can get Cooper S/T's for $140 a tire else where locally.

I'd love to save some dime on tires, but running the road I bought the rig for (4 hours of baja rocks and washboards at speeds averaging 50-55) I feel like I have to go BFG AT KOs w/ E rating.

For the 265/75s those are not cheap, but cheaper than rolling the rover due to an el cheapo tire blowing out.

 

[rmuller]

Just FYI, I called about 265/75/16 Definity Dakota A/Ts ... Total cost was ~$750 mounted & balanced for 5 of them... Then there was a $112 mail in rebate, so cost afterwords is close to $638.

You understand that PepBoys don't make their tires, right?
Some of them are made by Cooper, some in the past were made by Michelin.
The LT265/75R16 still carry E load rating; last time I looked, it had 3072 pounds max load per tire at 80psi. Sounds plenty to me.

I actually liked the tread pattern on Definity Dakota M/Ts. The price was about $112 per tire for 265/75; I just might get them instead of BFG MTs.

I shall spend my hard earned coin on either Maxxis or BFG KM2, good luck with not tearing the cooper/michelin/pep boys crap on slickrock and lava flows, which is where any tire is really put to the test, over jagged terrain 100 miles from anywhere ya get cell phone service

shit, I say, like the firestones and the cum-ho's

 

[p m]

Gem, you will never learn.
BFG tires are made by Michelin.

Maybe so, but theres nothing in 'michelins' line up worthy of off roading as an MT
FWIW I've been running Maxxis for 3 years in a row now..The BFGs I have now I got not by choice and will be off the rig before heading to the rally again this year...

anyone want used 255/85-16s? PM me pls you may like the BFG KMs but I'm done with mine, soon be on fleabay

Saying Michelin does not make some of the best tires on the market is like saying Diane Lane is a pig.

Maxxis? LOL. We used some of that junk on our training trucks. They were garbage.
