I've been calling around prices for some 33x12.5x15's BFG MT's and A/T KO's.. and everywhere has to special order them.. I was hoping to find them a bit cheaper per tire so I wouldnt have to pay shipping from an online store.. but WTF, over 200 bucks a tire at 33x12.5?!? I've called 5 places, from Les Schwab to Nels Tires, and a buncha other places out here.. no one has em in stock, and itll run me over 800 to get into them from a third party style company..


I think Tire Rack really is the best option, wont run much past 700, and thats INCLUDING shipping.. christ, whats happening to tire vendors out here?!?


Unless some of you from around here know anywhere that may actually have them in stock, and not have to special order.. that would be great Other then that, I think I will end up going with Tire Rack for sure

 

I just go to 4wheelparts to get my tires. Shipping I believe is like 90 bucks but theres an offer with BFGs right now where you save a 100 bucks and shipping is free. Only catch is you pay those 90 bucks to tire protection. Thats what I'm going to be doing here in the next few weeks.

 

hah.. sorta random...

I was jsut reading a review on BFG MT's and came across this..

haha.. 60,000 miles and he hasnt even had them a full year yet.. hah, yeah.. Ive got a buddy who put 55,000 in a single year in his county vehicle.. but thats because he inspects the gas lines and is on the road 12 hours a day 5 days a week.

 

You were wondering where to find some tire. ha I didn't know of any places that stocked them so I was just letting you know of 4 wheel parts little deal on BFGs thats all. It might save you some money, just thought I'd help.

 

Actually, I just ordered up from 4wheelparts, they had the best price, and the free warranty isnt too shabby either So.. yip yip yipee! :-D

 

America's tire has them, but don't stock. Costco has them, and keeps some in stock. 4WP in clackamas has them, but doesn't stock many.

The warehouse that alot of local places buy their tires are just down marine drive. So they are only a couple days away.

 

I'm not sure how far away it is from you but I would try the America's Tire in Vancouver.

 

Gave America's Tire a call up, along with 4WP over there.. costco didnt have any, I checked a few days ago when I went food shopping down there.


But its all good.. I bit the bullet and bought some mudders from 4WP online, the free no-questions asked warranty is good enough for me =)

 

C&L Tires and wheels... You have to be a retailer though, so find a friend who can go in and order them for you or pay for them for you.... I had $150/tire for my 315 MT's... Should be cheap for some 33's.. Somewhere around $120 or so... Maybe...

Otherwise I'd say Americas tire...

 

so how much did u end up paying per tire?

 

I paid $600 and that included tires, M&B and install...

 

$164 per tire, plus 85 shipping.. and a free $129 1 year warranty.. probably wont use it.. but heck, its a warranty Only sucky part is, since I live in washington and my zipcode is washington, I still get taxed washington taxes after odering online.. even if its from Portland.. oh well, honestly, I jsut wanted to get it done and not look back, heh

 

DUDE! wtf! How much in taxes.....dude...i woulda gave you my zip bro. Sooo.....33's or 32's?

 

33's.. which, you know means a lift is coming as well =) - Oh, taxes werent that bad actually... I figured, I do all my shopping out in Oregon anyway, I might as well take a hit at least onc e a year eh?

 

Haha.. Mike next time... Ship to Shanes or my parents house lol... Save yourself the god damn money!

 

Hah, will do :-) Soon as my bodylift gets in, I'll kick up whenever my next few days are off and see if your all up for a food, beer and tools day :-)

 

Haha do it next Saturday... We're doin shane's SL then! lol

 

HAHA...i think we'll be busy...but Next Sunday(11th).....I should be free! Monday(12th) too! Hit me up Mike.....we'll get-r-dun!

 

check Discount Tire we have a bunch locally I got my 31s for $480 out the door too.

 

Hey bud, actually ended up cancelling that order, and going to look for a place to pick them up.. was looking at some other thigns here and there, and figured I woudl rather not pay shipping.. and the discount tire has a place right out in gresham you can get them picked up at.. so I'll probably do that instead Save my 85 bucks on shipping, plus those taxes.. which in turn, is a good chunk of money back in the pocket :-)

 

^^HAHA...Discount tire in gresham? Are you talking about America's Tire on Eastman Parkway?? I frequent them now that I don't have a les schwab hook up anymore. In fact, I got my current steelies from them. and my last set of steelies.


So Mike....you get that bodylift yet?!? U comin' over Sunday? lol.

 

Let's do it!!!!!

 

Try 4wheelparts.com. That's where I got mine and at a great price.

 

Bah, ive got work all the way up to that day.. and an important group too.. Alaska Tanker Company, they run the biggest bar bill out of any group we get (roughly $15,000 a night with their full crew drinking) so theres no way I can get out of it.. flippin damn, Im going to try requesting a couple days off though, maybe I can get them off :-D

 

Oh, for anyone curious in the area.. and listening in... I saved a quick $130 bucks on all of this by doing the following.. emailed up the portland branch of 4wheelparts, and placed an inquiry for in-store pickup.. put half the downpayment on a set of tires, and some minor freight to get 2 of them up here from California, managed to secure it all for much cheaper then normal, and by next Monday taking a quick trip down to the store to pick them up =) Sure as hell beats getting them online, taxes, shipping, and whatever else it made it so expensive for.. plus, the tire price were cheaper per tire then what les schwab or discount tire could offer me.
