I didnt want to mess up the 3rd generation picture thread I started a few months ago with the ongoing search for wheels and tires.

So, this is the place to shout out some deals if you know of any.

My current search is for the following.

TIRES
BFG All Terrians - 285/75/16's

WHEELS
RockCrawler 51 series (Black)
16x8 with 4 inch BS
W/ Caps and lugs.

So far this is what I found as of 12-02-05
TIREPACKAGE.com Tire and wheel combo $1,029.82 (shipped)
4Wheelparts.com Tire and wheel combo $1,095.00 (shipped)

Sams Club. (Tires only) $175.88 each

Tirerack.com/barretire.com doesnt carry RockCrawler wheels. Tires are 166.00 each.

188.00 per tire at Mr.TIRE

Hopefully this will help out others who are looking as well. Good luck ! POST YOUR FINDINGS TOO !

 

me I'd go with a generic bfg all terrain nock off. Cordovan DTX - cost $118.00 retail $145.00

Unique black D-window 16x8 cost - $59.15 retail $72.95

Total package retail $871.80 + tax = $924.11

Total package at employee price $826.25 w/ tax.

Either way its a very similar tire, very similar wheel for much less. I'd even sell it cheaper if needed. But that shows the locals can compete with the online places.

 

ever thought about getting some 295/75/16's? The Nitto Terra Grapplers are great tires! And cost less than $600 to your door.

 

i agree. im am getting a set of 285s to mount on my new land cruiser wheels!!

 

How about the Mud Grapplers? Im getting 33's and I wasthinking of getting those instead of the terras, which do you think is better?

 

ive heard the mud grapplers are louder than the MT/Rs. If you dont do a lot of wheeling, go with the ATs.

 

How do the Nitto Terra Grapplers hold up on mileage? I will do alot more highway than offroad and so far my BFG All terrians are holding up rather well on tread wear. That 600.00 price is nice on the grapplers.

 

Anyone using the Unique black D-window 16x8's instead of the Rock Crawlers?

 

BFG Mud Terrain Owners ! How many miles are you getting out of this style of tire? Are they holding up well. I will mostly run on the highway with occasional off road, but love the look! Its a toss up between all terrains and mud terrains.

-Cheers!

 

ill sell u mine for 450. got 80%+ on them 450

 

That's a good deal right there ROOF!!

I have always loved the BFG Mudders, I had them on my old 2nd gen and never had ANY problems with them...I have heard of people getting about 30k-40k out of em with religious rotating and alignments.

I have about 45K on my current set. They still have some life in them but it seems that at around 40K they start to wear uneven, happened to my last set also.

 

Wow...thats impressive!

Looking for some 285/75/16's ...... Still undecided on which ones to get. Do the mud terrains like to sing while on the highway?

 

they sing a prety pretty song!

LOL, they do make a little hum

 

Nothing that some punk rock music wont drown out?

I will admit, I am pussin' out alittle by changing tires... I have owned BFG all terrains on 2 different trucks so far and they did great on wear. Since they are so expensive I want to do the better investment for the long run.

 

ALLLLLLL TERRIANS.
( I wish I could figure posting pictures out so it just pops up instead of clicky clicky )

 

like this:

 

Wow you the man!

...shoot me a PM on how you posted my rig like that. CAUSE ME STUPID.

 

Still trying to figure out the picture hosting.

Anyway, here are my BFG's after 36,289 miles as of today. I bought them on 6-9-01 and had them rotated twice Still alot of tread left.
