Baby has a new pair of shoes...

Trotted into America's Tire Co. this morning and drove out on 265/75R/16 BFG All Terrain KO's.
The tire price has gone up about $8 a piece in the past two weeks just about every where.
I chose America's Tire Co. because of the certifications that allow for free replacement even for off-road damage. I really like the new look, they are just over 1" taller (by my measurment) and much more aggressive looking.

Most of all, I also look forward to climbing some loose dirt and rocks with much better traction!!!

Good Call on the BGF All-Terrains. I've heard nothing but good things about them. We should head up to Rowher Flats sometime soon and test those bad boys out.

Nice addition George!
I got my tires from Discount Tire and the only complaint I have is that they didn't torque one of my tires after one trip.

Otherwise I've had nothing but good service from them - hope you get the same.

$910 for 5 with the certs, tax, mounting and all the rest. They were $149 each last week. Today I went in and they were $158 ea. Having to buy 5 because it is a step up in size is what really hurt.
