hey guys, recently ive been thinking about lifting my 4runner and putting bigger tires on it. i will be doing a lot of trimming on the fenders but i am trying to put 35" tires on it. (R15). i am on a budget and have little money for this project so i am wondering where i can find some good deals on some MTs for my car. i have heard a lot of things like Craigslist, ebay, and even army surplus, but i want to hear what you guys have to say.

thanks in advanced!!

your in seattle so i'd search craigslist in seattle and portland sometimes a drive can get you a big savings. Sign up on NW-wheelers.com too and check the classifieds they have good deals in there too.

Biggest advice from a exp. CL user is get your cash ready and wait for a good deal check for new postings and HAGGLE if you can pass up the deal then its worth passing it up remember sometimes a $100-50 savings off retail on used poo isnt worth the BS wait for a guy in desprate times or sick of the stuff taking up space.

Research research research

haggle haggle haggle

happy savings

 

by the way my used poo is almost ready for CL

35x12.5 R15 BFG MT KM's not ready to sell yet

 

haha okay thanks for the info. but if you ever sell those 35s i might still be looking. but yes ill keep looking all over craigslist and what not. thanks again!

This thread has been idle for a while so I'm going to use it for my own question.
I currently have a Lift as described on my sig. My alignment needs work because my current tires are wearing on the outer edges. I plan on returning to stock because I'm sick of correcting my alignment and badly worn tires. Problem is that I really need tires now. I do not however have the money to buy stock suspension and labor to switch out my current ones. My question to you all is, should I wait until I get my suspension back to stock before buying new tires (street tires not for off road), or can I just go ahead and buy my tires now and alignment, and hopefully my tires don't start to wear badly again?

Another question is, should I align first before getting the new tires or get tires first and align it?

I plan on doing an alignment possibly the same day or at least couple of days after new tires if that is the route.
