So im in a little dilemma. I finally decided on what tires im going to get, goodyear Duratracs. Now im dilemma is to get them now, or wait till summer. I have At least 2000 +- 500 miles to go before i would get them or i could get them in a couple weeks. Americas tire is willing to price match the the place where i would be getting them in the 2000 miles in Reno. Here is what my tread looks like right now.

This is the worse of them all:

the rest look like this:


What would you do?
Thanks

 

If he gives you his word that he'll give you the same deal on the tires in the summer that he is offering you now, wait till the summer. Otherwise, snatch them up now...you can always store them someplace and wait till summmer to mount them.

 

If you think that deal is too good to pass up right now, here's what I'd do personally. I'd get on craigslist and get a second set of Toyota OEM rims. Mine cost me ~$50 for all four. I see them quite frequently now in my area. Mount the new tires on the new set of rims. Wear your tires out, then mount the new wheels on. Then you now have an extra set of wheels to put more aggressive tires on or just sell it for what you bought the other rims for. It's more work, but that's how I run things.

 

Its not the deal im worried about, its the 2500 mile trip on those older tires. Am i freking out over nothing?

 

If it were me I'd do the 2500 miles on the old tyres and change em when I get back. But I'm cheap. Do you have a wife/girlfriend/kids that you're taking on the trip?

 

nope just me, im going home from school then going up the mtns for the summer but i have 3 weeks in between where im gonna be driving around doing all kinds of stuff. Ill have a jetski trailer but thats not very heavy

 

Yeah, I think you'll probably be perfectly fine... go for it!

 

X2 on the stocker set of rims, and buy them . Take the trip and carry a good spare. RUN them into the ground, then trade them out! lol

 

buy them, make the ride on ur old tires, then put the new tires on the truck
