I am so hype!!!

I just ordered my new tires. I ended up going with 305/70/16 goodyear mtr's. I got a preety good deal on them. I drove to costco today to get BFG's mt but the said that they could not install the tires on my truck because that was not the size the truck came with. I told the guy that was crazy and he could keep his tire. Costco wanted $210 per tire installed for the BFG's and I ended up getting the MTR's for $216 per tire installed at a small local tire shop.


I chickened out on the 315/75/16's!!!!

I liked to looks of the goodyear better anyway. I also heard they will last longer than the bfgs. Anyone ever had there tires wear out in the middle.

I have never heard of the MT/R's lasting longer than BFG's. Mine are at better than half at 25k, so I am pleased.

Did they actually get balanced? I have really not been pleased with that part of my MT/R ownership.

They will not be in till friday but I will not have a chance to put them on till saturday. I hope they work out for me. I will post some pics when I get them on.

Does anyone know which tire came out later, the KM MT or the MTR? Thanks

the ABC, then the DEF. sorry, i have no clue, and am so lost at this point, i had to make a stupid comment. forgive me for making it here.

If I had to guess, I'd say that the M/T KM's came out before the MT/R's but I'm not sure. I'm hoping that the M/T's that I've now got in my garage will last longer than the MT/R's would have cause I could have gotten either but I opted for the BFG's cause of the tire wear and reputation they had.

Oh well...either way it's gonna look good after tonight, hopefully.

That's 4route for ya, hiding in the shadows, waiting to say something silly. (when she's not doing detailed lift write ups and wheeling her sick 4th gen.)

Nice tires man, can't wait to see pics...

r0cky

other than the tire issues i had (man, for some reason highway tires just don't do it in mud holes) i was actually really really impressed with the truck! if i get better tires ... watch out! hehe. actually, no, wait, wheeling? why i never! i have no idea what on earth you are talking about, dear sir, i shan't stand for such lip!

Fink ... which BFGs? The AT or MT? QT. can't wait to see pics, too!

Fink

Good for you! I jumped the BFG ship and went to MT/R's as well. The second day out on the Goodyears, I picked up a mini screwdriver somewhere on the trail on the left rear. Pulled it out with the Leatherman Wave and expected the tire to go flat right away.

Nope... Still driving around with no leaks at all.

If this is the kind of performance I can expect from Goodyear, I will buy nothing else ever again.

That was purdy funny ....not as funny as when you spill your alphabet soups on your little keyboard

Flygtenstein

The KM's came out as a weak attempt to take some market share away from the MT/R, so the MT/R was first.

Then BFG got a clue and made Krawlers. Not a Swamper, but it sure looks like they get it done.

I like them alot. I just got them ballanced right and a full allignement. I also had to replace 3 tie rods.

wow, those are really 35s?

305/16 = 35s.
and
285/16 = 33s.

look like 33. anyway, they look smashing. that's what i'm getting next, and soon!

r0cky

lookin' good!!!

4runner4me

They are 33 12.50 16 = 305/70/16

35 12.50 16 = 315/75/16

I almost got the 35's but I didnt want to have to trim and most important I think that is a little hard on the steering and drive train for daily stop in go trafic in the city. Not to mention gas milage, loss of tire clearace and power loss. I think 35's would look great though just not for me.

Thanks for the complements
