they look awesome, no hassles for you this winter
 






what size did you get Fedy ?
 






*squints eyes* i think its a 255/70/16 :)
 






Nice. You are going to love them for winter. I have had mine for about 2 years and they are a great a/t tire.
 






hey fedy fedys,,coming from local longislander how much you spend on them and where you get them. I looking into getting some new rubber for the winterr
 






I have those tires and they rock. Never had ANY issue that I blamed on my tires. I got mine at Smithtown General tires, forget what I paid but it wasn't too expensive.
 






Almost looks like 245/70/16. I am eyeballing those tires too. I have Firestone Destination LE that came with mine when I bought it at 68,x.. and I have almost 109k on the clock and over 3 years runnin them...so its about time for a switch.
 






lookin good
 






Took a road trip upstate 2 days after i got theses things and all i have to say is wow. It snowed a little and i was driving on some pretty harsh, rough roads these tires are the shyt!!! I paid $618 out the door and was out of there in 20 min I went to all weather tire in Huntington best place for tires, cheapest and the fastest. I ended up going with 255/70/16 a step up from my 245's. what a difference, i love the way it drives and sounds now. and i gained about an inch of clearence :)

I love All Weather Tire, great bunch of guys and theyre so quick. My friend brought his 3 cars there to get new tires on and everytime I was just amazed.
 












that thing is sharp! very nice. let us know how those perform and their longevity. ive read mixed reviews online.

I defeiently will the guy at all weather tire which was happy/excited to help me told me that if you rotate the tires every 5,000 they will last forever and be the best tire. he said if you dont rotate them normally, he said it will be the worst tire. so far so good i do mixed driving with hwy and city these things are beastly. one reason i got them is that they look very similar to the bfg and are cheaper.
 






lookin good
 






Well done Fedy. Looks real sharp.
 






Well I said it was about time for a switch up and fedyfedz had me basically sold on these tires in the same size soo.. I pulled the trigger and got a set of my own. Pics ain't that good but I went from the tire shop to work so, they have to do for now lol. I figured I would just add to this post instead of create a new one.. hope ya dont mind fedyfedz

So far, so good. But then again, I am just going on my 2nd day with them and haven't really done anything but go to work and home. They do have a slight tire noise but that's a given as they are an AT tire. Soaks up bumps in the road really well. I just need to find somewhere in northern Va to do light trails or something to see how they hold up. There wasn't enough snow around to play in by the time I got these tires in and put on. Can't wait until next snow :). I get free tire rotation for as long as I own the tires so you bet I'm gonna use the crap outta that. Haha
