Looking to buy a set of tires

My ideal size would be from 32x11.50 to 33x12.50s, and I definitely want a more aggressive tire (i.e. a mud terrain rather than an all terrain. Should I go the route of retreads? My budget for this is pitiful (250-300 dollars), but I definitely need new tires before the Minnesota winter. Local classifieds and eBay don't have anything at the moment - where do I begin?

Tires

I think you will have significant difficulty in finding four 32" tires for under $300. If you are running 16" wheels you can forget it. Your best best will be used if that is truly your budget. I don't know about retreads. Have you tried Craig's list?

Sorry.

You can do it, but, it takes some research...

If you have 15" rims, definetly a possibility.

Check out pirate4x4.com and go to their tire classifieds. You'll find something, but, they will be somewhat used...

You just have to look in the right place.
