  • Ol' Blue got new shoes....

    Well damn....I had a screw in one tire and a nail in the other...and I have to drive 100 miles of dirt road in 24 hours to chaperone a middle school camping trip....took it to discount tire to get them fixed (knowing that I would soon need new tires) and they would not fix it due to the wear...Big O wouldt touch it either....so....Back to discount...they gave me a "fair" deal on 4 new BFG....I did not have enough money in the old sock to buy them out right but they do have a 6 months same as cash deal right now so I will pay them off in about a week when the tax return shows up....

    Looks good. They BFG A/Ts last forever, so you did good. My friends jeep had 90k on them.

      Damn Joe, you should have asked, I got a hook-up on tires. I got Yoko Geolanders that retail for $185 a piece for $125.

      Anyway nice tires.

        The real question is, have you properly tested them out yet?

            good tire to stick to. I have four bfg at least 15 years old.. and could go get a spare with same exact appearance today. That is too rare for alot of treads.

            In contrast I have four nokians hakka 1, extinct, 160 a piece.. and can do nothing but let all four go when one goes bad. Sickening. >

              Nice tires, Joe!

              I had a set of those on my Silverado....good tires, but went to price a set. $850 just for 4 stinkin' tires...not including tax, mount/balance. Same price no matter who I called(well, 4 Wheel performance wanted $925...asked them if they "smoked" their lunch that day, and promptly hung up).

              My $588 Coopers do me fine.....Joe, have fun with the chaperoning duties tomorrow!

                I am stupid and stick with what I know...and I know BFG AT's and TOYO long trails wear like rocks...but ride well....so I dropped the 900 bills for 315/75/16's put about 80 miles on them today and man what a difference tires with tread make....I am gonna like these....
