Default Just Wondering

I was just wondering where you guys have found is the best place to buy tires for your trucks, I'm thinking of trying to order mine online for the next set, but not real sure if it is the right way to go. It seems to be getting harder and harder to find my 35X12.5XR15 BFGs most places say back ordered for several months. So basically I'm just curious as to where you guys think is the best place to buy your tires.

Tire Rack

They have reviews specific to the vehicle you are looking for and the specific tire too.

1010 tires is another decent one but the reviews are as easy to navigate through.

Discount tire is another favorite.

There are a lot of threads on tires here, so you could try running a search on the Mickey Thompsons.

Yeah I've been looking at tire rack for my next order actually, but they have the BFGs back ordered naturally.

Just go to discount tire in person. I always get a pretty good deal if I dont think the price is fair. and I also get free balance and rotations and free tire replacement. So my tires always last forever..

I put my own tires on and balance them myself so thats not important I was just wondering what you guys thought was the best location for pricing. I have access to a ford dealership whenever I need to so thats not an issue. I also don't even put 3000 miles on my truck a year so my tire life is excellant! i love having a company vehicle.

There is a huge difference between mickey's and those BFG's...make the smart choice fuck the BFG's.
