Wal-terrains?

[Philberto]

I see that because of the potential for things to be done incorrectly (ie too much tire lube causes the beads to stick to it) and the complexity (beads need to be poured through an applicator and then a filtered valve core needs to be installed. In addition, dynamic balancing only really applies in cases of knobby offroad tires (where mud, rocks, or unbalanced wear can affect balancing midway through a tire's lifecycle) and commercial big rig tires. It's much easier for a dealer to slap on or clamp on some weights than it is to deal with the beads. That, and I think it's not gotten the publicity treatment because the concepts don't explain as well to the general public.

-edit: and the beads are much more expensive than weights... and they provide a benefit that many do not need.

Also coupled with the liability of parts that are not guaranteed by the tire manufacturer to work in conjunction with their product. Just like with wheel adapters. You can't generally buy them from a third party, because they will not guarantee the product. Some shops won't even install them. When I had my tires mounted, the installer even needed convincing to hit my adapters with the impact wrench to torque them a little more. Too many horror stories from people getting those $25 spacers from Pep Boys and having the wheel fly off on the highway.


And btw, If you are still looking for inexpensive M/Ts, let me share with you a great deal. I am going to get new tires before the end of the year, and I think this may be the best deal I've found. Excellent ratings and really easy on the bank account. Federal Couragia M/T.

Wow great price. What do we know about these tires. I've heard of the manufacturer but never used or heard anyone using their products.

I saw those on there the other day... too bad I already got my tires, because those look badass!

[MrSmithsTB]

They do look badass. I've found quite a few reviews and even a vid or two. Jeeps seem to like em. I watched one get out of some good mud and a Hummer blast through a pit.

[That1Guy]

those tires do look good but I dont se them in 245 75 16

[MrSmithsTB]

Well, lets get back to that original budget......$900.

You can get as set of four to your door for @$600. size 265/75/16(32")
Throw in a set of the Ebay wheel adapters @ $150 to your door.
Add mount/balance @ $50. There you go for $100 less than you planned and you are running a larger diameter and a larger footprint. Seems like the way to go if it was me.


Where are you located? They offer free pickup at their warehouse, located in SoCal just outside of LA. That would get you the tires for under $500 for that size

[Philberto]

If you do, say hi to the guys in the office... They're very friendly, and some of the most overworked people I know.

Also forgot!! I need to keep Gas mileage in mind as I deliver pizza for a job!

[MrSmithsTB]

Maybe you should consider a new line of work before you try and make you TB offroad worthy. Or buy a beater car to deliver in.

[Philberto]

Hold on.... I think we've had this discussion before.... on the OS.... yep... definitely had this discussion before.

With me along for safety, your current tires can do 90% of Borrego's trails, and 95% of Big Bear's. Since you spend 50 times as many hours at work than on the trails, you might want to save the money for gas to actually take a trail ride, rather than perpetually get ready for a trail ride. Don't you have a ticket to pay off, too?

and if you not want but NEED tires, A replacement set of All Terrains won't leave you any worse for the wear on trails, won't tank your mileage, will open your options, and will be a little easier on the bank account.

Search that site and I'm sure you can find something. Look at page 2 under your current size specs.

245/75-16 Hankook DynaPro AT RF10 109T. Bobbyblaze runs these and he ran with us at Wharton a couple of months ago and he will be attending tomorrow. He was also at TECORE 2 and believe he held his own rather well. $89 bucks a tire is only $360 if you were to go pick them up. If you can at all stand to wait, throw some money away week by week until you can get em.

Haha no I NEED not want right now... No matter what im going to get atleast an agressive all terrain. and im not trying to make this thing trailworthy right now, im just trying to get some new tires that I wont have to question in the snow or for daily driving. When there is snow in the local mountains I go atleast once a week! And i dont have to worry about the ticket until January which is when my court date is

Then go for the Hancooks in my last post. You will not regret them and you cannot beat that price/ quality.

[foosh]

I've heard from others those tires are good, especially on rocks and stuff like that... Plus as Bot said, they're dirt cheap!

[Philberto]

Agreed. Hankook is a little-known but dependable brand.

[That1Guy]

So im selling my trailer tommorow, gonna use the money for some spacers/tires. I feel really retarded as my intraweb skills suck. but can someone post an ebay link to the spacers I need?? Keeping the same lug pattern
