I don't know if anyone has really heard much about them. But If anyone is considering A/T's for street driving as well as off-road. The yokohama Geolandar A/T+2's are the best ˟˟˟˟ out there I think. Ive had them on my past two trucks, and they claw through some mud like it aint no ˟˟˟˟. They are rated for better traction then the BFG's and they are rated for I think its 40,000 miles. Just thought I would put my word in.

Mastercraft makes an excellent MT that you can pick up pretty cheap. Not sure if they make a 305... but it might be worth looking into. Just an idea.

hmmmm...

I may be able to help as far as tires go... I work at Sears Automotive in Wilmington and we do alot of truck tires. I was able to help Coop (Seaflea) out with his new 33's (heh Pricematching is Da Bomb) So leave me the exact size yer looking for and what type (mudders, A/T, crossterrains, ect...) and I'll see what I can dig up. Mike speaks highly of the whole NC club so I dont have a problem helpin where I can (even tho I'm a Jeep Cult member )

305's...

Ok, here is the best I could do:

Dunlop MudRovers 305-70-16
--$114.99 each
--$501.36 for set of four loose (exact price for loose tires, including taxes and state fees)
--$570.11 for set of four installed (installed meaning mounting, balancing and put on truck, also includes lifetime balancing and rotation at any Sears in the country, taxes and state fees)

I realize this a little bit higher than what you were looking for but at least there is no shipping (hehe) cause all you would have to do would be to make a small road trip to Wilmington.

The only other mudders I can order in that size are BFG MudTerrains at about (roughly) $50.00 more per tire.

Hope this helps, but if not, oh well, at least we tried right.

Just lemme know

Scotty

just checked TireRack.com, their Dunlop MudRovers (305-70-16) go for $119.00 per tire plus (roughly) $86.00 in shipping

$119.00 x 4 = $476.00

$476.00 + $86.00 = $562.00

Thats the total for four loose from them.

Just lettin ya know

Scotty

P.S. I can also easily beat their price on the BFG Mudders in that size as well

Anytime bro. I really have alot of sizes I can order. From your standard 31x10.5x15 up to 35x12.5x15 (even saw 2 different Goodyears in 37x12.5x15 in the computer, not sure if they are still available though) As far as P metrics go though, the 305s are about as big as I can order. Main brands I deal with are Michelin, BFG, GoodYear (though only God knows why), Bridgestone, Dunlop, General (mainly road tires) and a few Connies.

Any time any of yall want a quote from me just lemme know what sizer your lookin for and I'll take a looksee for ya.

Scotty

I need a full size spare to match my 35 MT/R's. What price are we looking at for just one 35x12.50x15 Goodyear MT/R. If it's ALOT over $170, let me know the same size in Dunlop Mud Rover. Thanks bud.

I should try that, but I'm curious about new. I have all used tires so that's not a problem with me. First thing comes first though, I need to get my baby off of the blocks. It'll be awhile before I hit the trails, I just need a road worthy rig so I can drive to Tellico to ride along. :cry:

Heh, yeah come on down ) Seriously though, if you are SURE that you want em ya gotta let me know about 2 weeks ahead of time so I can get them ordered in. Normally I have to take a deposite for orders but I'll forgo that as long as I know that you are serious about the tires.

Oh dam, need to look up those 35s today.

peace

Scotty

I'll be sure to let you know when I get another set of wheels. These steelies are HEAVY! I want some alloys for the road and then have the tech1s for off-road use and some MTs of some sort. Can you get us good deals on wheels too or just tires?

Ok, here we go...

In the 35x12.5x15 size:

GoodYear MT/R (no milage warrenty) $164.99
-Loose $179.84
-Mounted $199.17

Dunlop MudRover (no milage warrenty) $129.99
-Loose $141.69
-Mounted $161.02

BFG AT/KO (again, no milage warrenty) $139.99
-Loose $152.59
-Mounted $171.92

Loose = taxes, NC state environmental fees
Mounted = mounting on rim, balancing, new stems, taxes, NC state environmental fees (also gives you lifetime balancing/rotation at any Sears)

As far as rims go, I can't get any of the specialty four wheel drive locking rims. All we carry are the run of the mill Bling Bling type stuff.

anything else?

Scotty

P.s. these prices reflect recent price matches I have done in wilmington.

Sweet you rock man. Even though you drive a Jeep. LOL, first good Jeep guy I've met in awhile.

Well once I get this beast back on her feet I'll give you a call. Take a look at project 85' Krawler thead to see how long that will be though.
