Scored some BFG All Terrains for 150!!!!

Well they are used but a hell of a deal...70% tread left on em and i got the four for 150, Im having em installed tomorrow and will have some pics up. Maybe i'll finally have a pic worthy of an avatar now.....

going from 265/70/16 to these....285/75/16. although standing next to my current ones they don't look a whole lot bigger... well see.

AFTER 285/75/16 Gotta say its not as drastic a difference as i thought. Got a 3" Body lift w/ 1.5 Wheel spacers. This is on a 7 inch factory rim too.

OH just that it didn't make it quite as BIGGER looking as I thought. When i see trucks with 31's and trucks with 33's they usually look QUITE different. Guess it has to do with lift and rims and all that. I found this guy listing all these tires on craigslist but none the size i wanted. I asked him to keep an eye out and he gave me this dudes #. Checked with him and he had these. 2 days after the original guy that gave me the number now had this exact same set with 90 % tread for 500. DAMN!!!!

nice, well to me, it looks more aggressive, and it looks "fuller" meaning it kinda filled in some space around the emptiness of ur wheel / fender area. and from a distance you can see the treads, rather than ur old ones, which look like it came off of a drag race car. i've been looking on craigslist too, however, i have alot of used tire places around here. They are usually like ma' and pa' shops that charge 35 bucks for a tire and mount/blanace. i found 2 couple weeks ago with about 60% tread left, and paid 70$ to have them installed. but i was stupid at the time and bought 2 tires of different brands..and one now is slightly taller than the other (same size though) continental tires are shorter in their sizes than other brands i guess. o well nice find again though
