What tires?
« Reply #60 on: April 13, 2013, 09:01:45 AM »
Discount sells Nitto.
the closest store in Wenatchee though. I am in Yakima, so my choices are limited somewhat. We have schwabs, commercial tire, tire factory, and various other small local shops

If you really want them I bet they sell them on Tirerack.com. I'd bet they have an installer in your area.  Might be worth checking into. They will ship the tires to the installer and you take your rig there. We used to do it at a shop I worked at.

" In today's instant gratification society, more and more pressure revolves around success and the measurement of one's prowess as a hunter by inches on a score chart or field photos produced on social media. Don't fall into the trap. Hunting is-and always will be- about the hunt, the adventure, the views, and time spent with close friends and family. " Ryan Hatfield

Hopefully getting the Cooper ST maxx tomorrow, the more i read about them, the more I feel like they are a good tire, I know they are new, but I have read enough good reviews, plus the three ply sidewall is the kicker for me after having a rock puncture last week.

There's a new Toyo this year and they are a great compromise for those who seek mud terrain performance and look and all terrain ride and wear, Toyo AT2 Extreme. I've had BFG MT KM2 and AT, Toyo MT and AT, the new AT2 Extreme are the nicest tires I've owned, e rated and 55k mile warranty.  They make a AT2 and a AT2 Extreme, the Extreme has larger sidwall lugs that look better in my opinion.

What I really liked also is that I could put just shy of a 35 on a leveled 3500 without cutting on stock 18's, attached picture

You can check them out at Les Schwab in Yakima.

I love the BFG A/T KOs, have had two sets on my Ram go over 60k. On my Jeeps all I ran were A/T KOs and Mud Terrains.
 I put Yokohama Geolander A/T-S on my wife's Durango, and liked them so much I decided to try them on the Ram.
Two years running, they are going great!
The Yokohama Geolanders are $50+ cheaper per tire then the BFG A/T KOs

I got the st maxx this morning, about 900 or so out the door, they look good and the guy told me all the police rigs on the training center have switched to this tire. They don't ride too rough for a ten ply on a half ton, only have 35 psi in them now though, may bump them up a little

I recently purchased toyo at2 extreme to replace my toyo mt tires in 35s and really noticed a better ride and mpgs, probably due to weight difference between the extremely heavy mts. So they get my vote :D

You won't regret buying Coopers. And like I said before, they're American made!   :tup: 

Also reasonably priced compared to other brands. I may not ever buy another tire that isn't a Cooper.

I have gone through quite a few sets of Cooper STs, I think you will be very happy with them.  I haven't used them since they went to the ST Maxx, but I'm can't imagine you won't like them.  Depending on how much ice/snow you drive on, you may want to get them siped for winter driving.

I've been VERY happy with the Goodyear Wrangler Authority from Wal Mart

http://www.walmart.com/ip/Goodyear-Wrangler-Authority-Tire-LT265-75R16/11983160

I have an older ford and got the 31x10.50r15 but, they look good and perform REALLY well, especially for the price.  I'm about 3.5 years into them and they still have a bunch of tread left.  They grip well in the snow and in mud.  I recommend them to anyone asking
I have 4 buddies who swear by those!
