I've got a guy who wants to buy my 33's off of me (they're too small anyways) and I'm looking around for a bigger tire. I found 35x12.50 BFG at's for 702 mounted and balanced. Anyone know of a tire that'll last and that I can buy for right around that price or up to 800? I can go up to 38's. I've been researching a little and can't seem to find anything around that price. I have 15" rims. Any opinions?

 

What are you going to be driving in (deep mud, snow, sand, road ext.)

 

for the price you got quoted, you could buy them from Summit and have them mounted/balanced for less than that....

Summit:

and Summit will price match any place online you find the tires cheaper......like tire rack: http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....e1=yes&place=0

 

The place I'd be getting them from sells them at 145 a tire and 13 to mount on balance. I stole his reciept that he was calculating on with all the charges and he's got an 11% tax on 633.12. I may just get the tires from him and mount them myself and have someone else balance them. That should put it at 660 or somewhere close to that.

 

11% tax? i thought it was only 7% in Florida

 

it is 7%, that's what I'm wondering about. But to me that's still a good deal, 660 for 35's mounted and balanced.

If I go back I'll have to ask him what the 11% charge is.

 

I'd actually look into that STS. I know you have mentioned you tow and you don't go offroad much.

 

I don't believe that you can fit up to 38s. That's more than your axle can likely handle anyways. Go with the 35s. BFG A/Ts are a good choice, they'll last you a looooooooong time.

 

36x14.50

 

I'm having a big brain fart right now, long day at work. STS as in........? 36x14.50 I could do that.

EDIT: Nevermind, the light came on when reading another thread.

 

I tell ya'll what, what I may do is just buy the BFG 35's as a DD tire. Once I have those I can buy some wheel adapters from 5x4.5 to 5x5.5 and steal some 37's of of my Sami. Thats a bit much for me for the STS's and I KNOW for a fact BFG at's last forever. I could get 4.88's for a little kick and towing and for those days when I feel like being a big balla with 37's. I forgot what brand tires they are but they're smaller than 37 so I think they'll fit.

 

isnt tax 6% in FL? not 7 and sure as hell not 11...

 

Escambia County has a discretionary sales surtax that bumps the sales tax up to 7%. It's been that way since I can even remember.http://dor.myflorida.com/dor/taxes/discretionary.html

 

The BFGs are a good deal for the money. Only complaint I have about mine is they run a little small for their stated size. Toyos are expensive, but I have found basically nothing bad about the toyo mts. I parked next to a f150 with a set of 35x13.5s and the toyos were taller and about 2 inches wider than my 35 BFGs.

 

its different in each county... i know Dade county is 7 1/2% and Alachua is 8%
