Where can I get these freakin tires?

I did search, and no I didnt find anything.

Where can I get Michelin XZL's, the smaller ones like the 8.25s or the 7.00s? (sizes right?) I cannot find anywhere that has them. Ex. Exchange doesnt have any. Thanks guys. Alex

um - hate to encroach on the "no flaming" rule, but dude you need to change search engines...

Google "Michelin XZL" brings up 37,400 responses. On the first page, there are 3 places.

I know there are a lot of responses on google. Most of them are just quote about people writing about them. And I know there are a couple of places on the first page, but like I said in the first post, Ex. Exchange is out, and Safari Gard only has huge used ones. I am wanting the smaller version. Thanks.

Nothin on Tire Rack, maybe on Michelin's site and do a Dealer Search and then contact the dealer that comes up and ask them.

you are going to have to go to a shop that sells truck tires as in big trucks not light trucks. Places like discount tire, NTB, Sears, etc are not going to sell them because they have to be inflated in a cage. I hope you know what kind of ride you are in for with a tire with a steel casing.

try this:
http://www.expeditionexchange.com/michelin/

currently out of stock, but I'd contact and see what they say about getting them or other dealers. Most places that sell Unimogs/Pinzgauers have connections to get Michelin military type tires...another good place to source from.

The ride with those things will probably be REALLY harsh but I bet they could be shot with a freakin shotgun and just keep on tickin!

yup, thats the point, and the 8.25 sizes i think are about 33", if they even sell them in the US. Some of the Rovers from Ex. Exchange have the 8.25's and theyre supposed to be a good expedition type tire. Hold a lot of weight. But they are heavy.
