Dick Cepek FC-II {is anyone running them ?}

[William Schumacher]

looking for some feedback on these tires.
I'm looking for a 33x12.5x15 C load
they need to be a good all around tire {street,light trails,sand,}and be very good in the snow !!

they also need to be at least in the middle of the pack in how they wear !

thanks,

all of those things easily

I have them on my 96 daily driver.

I just rotated them, then I drove 228 miles at 75 mph with my boat in tow, then played at the lake for 2 days including launching the boat from a sand ramp in 4 low, then drove back home 228 miles at 75-85 mph.

FC II Tires are awesome, they are wearing very well, the ride great, they perform *****en in sand and snow as well as off road.
They are a bit noisy ont he highway for an AT, but not too bad. That is the only thing I can even come close to picking on with these suckers.

I love them

I'm also looking at the procomp 15x8 8069 black alloy's !

 

[William Schumacher]

Finally !

I'd like to get them but they want too much for them. The cheapest I have found 33x12.5x15's are $175 ea plus shipping & that's from Summit Racing.

Places around where I live want $235 for the F-C II. I can get a set BFG A/T mounted & balanced for $167.50 ea.

 

[410Fortune]

$235 is a rip!
I think I pad like $150 ea, but that was when they first came out and from a big tire warehouse we have here in CO, they carry a TON of MT and DC tires.

Mine are now about 1/3 worn down on the explorer.....still work great ESPECIALLY in the sand....oh boy 10 psi + sand dunes =

 

[Dan Whitaker]

There was one place I called to see if they could get them said " I've never heard of Dick Cepek Tires"

WTF! Has this idiot lived in a cave his whole life

 

[410Fortune]

at least he was honest! You might actually wanna call him back!

 

[William Schumacher]

I went through 4wheel parts

I paid $178.00 each,the wheels were $117.00 each
mounted and balanced included,freight was $80.00.
I opted for the extreme warranty on the wheels,$44.00 covers all 4 for life,if anything ever happens to them they will be replaced free of charge !,this also included a finish {paint} replacement !!

What is the tread life on these compared to BFG at's and other good AT's?? I need some new tires soon.

 

[410Fortune]

so far so good, I try to rotate mine every 5000 miles, I monitor their pressure regularly, I run 32 psi normal and 34 on road trips

They are wearing as good or better then the old BFG AT's, before the KO. So far it looks like get about twice the life out of these suckers as I did a set of KO's

I have had them on two different trucks and I have not monitored th eamount of miles I am getting from them, but they are wearing very well IMO

 

[carlover]

Hmm ill have to take a serious look at those then. Its between them, the BFG's and the truxus st's. Need something good for the sand, and on the pavement. Im tired of having a DD with mt's too...

 

[410Fortune]

exactly why I got the FC'IIs aggresive AT with great street performance and *****in in sand/dirt/snow
Not the best in mud but hey what can you do

 

[carlover]

Mud?? Whats that lol?? We dont have much of that in cali these days. But im building a daily driven mid travel prerunner and need some good tires. Ill have to check around for some prices..

 

[Dan Whitaker]

at least he was honest! You might actually wanna call him back!

Not when he didn't try to find out if they can get them. His respones: "We can get Mickey Thompson's for you"

 

[410Fortune]

that was my next question, if he has heard of Mickey Thompson
He has heard of Cooper tire I bet and I believe thats who makes the MT and DC tires..
