Finally picked a tire

well 1st of all, walking into a tire store as a customer sucks. I gave deals to anyone with cool vehicles and helped them anyway possible. I go in and its nothing but a hassle and ripoff prices. I went to local tire store in a nearby city and found the tires I sold for 2 years that are killer and soooo cheap. Then I went accross the street to the disc tire and got them to match the price on the tire. friggin stupid how one discount tire 20 mins away can find the tire I am looking for but not the one in my town.

here it is Wild Spirit Traction FE (it has other names like radial RVT) killer tire that wears into the 50-60k if treated well. paying $420

Talking about killer prices - probably all together.
If that's the case, damn good price!

yeah 420 for 4 nice number... gettin them in 31x10.50r15's decided against 32's and I dont think this tire is made in that size anyhow. Its funny I have sold em to tons of folks but I am a little nervous if they will be dangerous on ice. I wont see much ice but its mich. maybe i will look into siping them.

1st thing i am doing once they are on is going to the clay field where i got stuck and i am rompin through it! :rockband:

no in the ice they will be not so great. no sipes, I am looking into what can be done about this without damaging the life of the tire and causing the treads to chunk. I am not too worried about it, no tire is great on ice unless studded.
