cooper, Kumho, Maxxis , what one to get

[james t]

You can find all three of those tires for less then a hundred bucks if you look around.

Futura Enforcer M/T, same company as Cooper, should be cheaper then all three those tires.

The same until we started building the 3ply STT. The Enforcer M/T's are the old 2 ply STT carcass.

i have yet to be able to find the new coopers for under 140 per tire....if you can find them for 115 i will applaud you

140 a tire, yeah, i wouldn't pay that. You can get a better tire for cheaper.

Shoot TireRack advertizes those Kumhos for cheaper then the 113 figure.

can you get any super employee discounts? haha

 

[slravene]

i need to start looking for some new tires for the jump up to 33s, but i have yet to find many good prices for tires. These buggers are expensive. (My 31s were only like 120 mounted balanced out the door at Costco...but they wont put 33s on my truck )

 

[410Fortune]

Bring them the wheels only.
Find another shop that will.

 

[slravene]

i did bring them the wheels...but they have seen my truck and got smart and said no way buddy lol... discount tire will do it, but they want alot for the BFGs

Not much of one, and they keep vehicle records on file.

 

[410Fortune]

Discount and Costco, oh brother...Costco has good deals, if the price is that low jsut buy the tires and have a MA and PA or a 4x4 shop mount and balance.

 

[slravene]

i tried to tell them that they were going on a trailer...but i made the mistake of just one time parking my truck out front of the door and they saw me get out of it....now they have a hard time believing that any tires i buy are going on "friends trucks" or "a trailer" lol. Thats how i got the tires i have now, they were "for my girlfriends heep rubicon" Im gonna call over there tmw and see if they even sell 33x12.5s They dont seem to like selling tires without knowing exactly what they are going on.

 

[410Fortune]

Who cares what they say, if they dont install them they are not liable.
They do have the right to refuse service to anyone but I can tell you if I had $$$ and wanted to buy tires and they refused to sell them to me I would be FURIOUS
It is none of their business what you are going to use them on, unless they are doing the install.

$113 is high for those Venture MTS

wow ! you can get me 4 of them shipped, mounted, and balanced for less than 452.00$ ???????? ill take 2 sets !

I think thats how all the tire makers do it. I had a friend who's parents were higher ups at contiental tire. They could get tires for cheap, but they had those vehical records.

When i bought my Kumho 32x11.50 i paid 90 bucks a tire. TireRack is selling them cheaper then when you found them for, look around man. Most places will cut you a deal if you ask them right

Just have a someone else go buy them.

 

[96limitedX]

another vote for coopers..i LOVE mine!!

 

[slravene]

thats the problem...unless that person is a cardholder, they WILL not sell anything to them. The only other person that could do it would be my girfriends parents, lol. Ive pretty much given up on them as an option for my 33s.
