What kind of tires are you looking at?  There are plenty of good tires for less than $250 per.  Unless you feel like spending a grand.

MrH

BFG KO2 275/70/R17.

That's everything out the door.  This is what I'm asking them to do:

- Take old wheels & tires, remove tires, batch one of them
- Rebuild TPMS sensors
- Install TPMS sensors on new wheels
- Mount and balance new tires on new wheels
- Buy back my old tires
- Give me my old wheels without tires on them.

I'll likely get $60-$70 in value for my old tires.  So It'll be more like $950 or so.

I didn't wanna be the first to ask...

Rupert

I don't have BFGs, and they were the same price as the Bridgestone Revos that I did get. More tire than I need, even with my snowy icy 50 mile including a mountain pass commute. Actually, the Revos might be better in snow than the BFGs.

Get the knockoffs if you just want the look and 90% of the performance...General Grabbers. :lol:

CaminoRacer

I'd get the BFGs solely because I like name brand tires.

So many other brands with names that make A/T tires, not that probably even needs to go that far.

I just go to Tire Rack and read a bunch of reviews until I find a good balance between quality and price.

KO2s are the highest rated and also last forever. I'm not going to get Chinese "Federal" tires that are shot every 10k miles

lol Nobody's telling you to get shit tires.  Why not go for something that actually suits your driving?  Y'know, hopping curbs and stuff.

Jesus, what the hell is going on in here? Why have a legit BoF 4WD vehicle and not have A/T tires on it???

Why have a legit BoF 4WD vehicle and never take it off road in the first place? :huh: :devil:

He has money and he wants the BFGs because they're cool and very good tires. I see no problem here. 4Runner with lame tires is lame.

Suburban  brodozers are planet killers. Its only ok to have one if you actually use it to drive over nature.
Maybe we need to start off small. I mean, they don't let you fuck the glumpers at Glumpees without a level 4 FuckPass, do they?
