WOOT, WOOT NEW TIRES!!!
 
o.k., i know most of you prolly don't care, but tires are so damn expensive for trucks, i was looking at 500+ just for the oe replacemet tires on my xterra. then i came up with a plan, there is a full size spare on a steel rim under the back bumper, well, i have one, all i need to do is sneak up to 3 xterra's and snake their spare tire, then have them mounted on my rims ;D well, all of the bad ---- i did back in the day, i guess i don't have it in my anymore, i drove around and spotted the trucks i was going to do this to, but never had the balls to do it, i've needed tires for a couple of months and now i have a little extra cash cause of xmas, i found these for 200, plus 44 for shipping to nc, i figure about 50 bucks to have them mounted and balance, and these got some meat on em too, so now i can take my truck in the mud, yay!!!

New tire day is nice but I dont think you'll be taking those out in the mud.

I remember buying my bfgoodriches for my truck a while back.... I know its rediculous like 125 a piece...arg

They dont look bad at all, its just not a mud tire is all I'm saying.

My all terrain TA's were a lil deeper with soome bigger cleats on the side and did well so I suppose those woudlnt do bad.... nothing like thornbirds though ;)

I live go to school in big rapids michigan where there are a ton of hicks with trucks. Tons of two tracks back there that even better of the trucks get stuck in. Last year some kid had a dodge ram with a v10, 12 inches of lift and 38in swampers....buried it in the mud haha :)

I got some new tires too. Falkens Ze-512's for I think it was like 225. 225/60/15. I feels you on the new tires! Now I just needs to get an alignment. =/

-Murdoc

P.S. don't pay 50 for mounting and balence, at the most I pay 40, but try to hussle to 30-35, unless they do it for 20 =P. 50 too much. repeating myself, but the most I would pay is 5 for mounting and 5 for balencing for each rim. And even 40 is a lot but seems descent.

Those are NOT good tires for mud. Good deal and everything, but no serious mud bogging for you. :-\

I bought the "Big O" STX or whatever for like $500 out the door and they aren't even off road tires. :-[

Nah, I was talking about the ebay special tires. :P I think the BFG mud terains are decent for mud and they look great, but they wear like a mo fo. The regular BFG's last 10x as long as the mud, but I guess that's what you get with the aggressive tread patterns. :-\

oh, i know they're not mud tires, i couldn't get anything to beefy b/c my wife drives the terra most of time, i don't think she wanted any thornbirds or anything, hell, she made me take the rally lights off the top b/c of the noise they made in the wind, imagine how she would feel about the noise from some 32in thornbirds :P but trust me, if you saw the tires on there now (50k miles on them), and saw what i've taken it through, these tires will do fine for some light mudd slingin ;)
