tire dilemma

aulee42 · #1 04-25-2011, 06:57 PM

So i need new tires for my truck and roaming craigslist i came across 5 cooper discoverer atr's with only 1000 miles on them. They look brand new. Here is the kicker. I just bought a set of 16" fx4/edge rims from richardhoward on saturday with intentions of putting new tires on those rims. But i found this new set of coopers plus the spare today and they are 31x10.5x15 They come with toyota 6 lug rims for 400.00. SO do i buy these new tires with the yota rims and turn around and sell the rims for lets say 100-125 and buy a set of 15 inch rims and use the 16" for winter rims and some cheap tires for them? I am confused as to what i should do. I also have the ugly 16" rims that are on my truck that i can also sell for 90-100 on craigslist IDK IDK.. Ive been looking for these Discoverer atr for awhile and unfortunately there 15"

----------

I really want to use these new wheels i just got but the price of these 5 tires is so cheap

Buy a set of 15" rims. How much you want for those rims in the pic?

I dont think i could sell these rims. i ve been trying to get them for a couple years now and finally got them on saturday. Plus "richardhoward" drove from TN to wi for me to pick them up. I might buy a cheap set of tires for these rims and find a set of 15" idk

i would use the 16's for winter and use the new ones for summer but that's just me

aaggh thats just a little to small if they were 245's id consider it

pooleo · #9 04-25-2011, 08:36 PM

hahahha, thats why I need to sell them! way to small for my truck with 4.10's! I got a nice set of kumo venture MT in the 265 size lined up for the rims.

this is what i am thinking as well. If i decided to buy the 5 tires with yota rims. Ill be able to sell The yota and my stock rims. Lets just say i get 100 for each set of rims, Id think that would cover the cost of some 15

just got an email back from a guy. going to look at some Firestone Transforce AT tires on Wednesday. about 50% tread left for 100.00 They are 265/75/16. There not very aggresive of a tire at all but i dont remember the last time i needed anything more than a bald tire for the off road adventures ive been on. And

just bite the bullet and buy some new 16 inch tires, better to have the look you want then to settle with something your not gonna like.
