::::Got them on!!! Wow they are so bad(good). My camera is out of juice and I cant find the power cord!!! I am in the middle of a DIVORCE ,as I find the camera cord I will take some PICS. These are the best, I just want to drive, drive, and drive. I am looking for the camera cord and as soon as I get a charge, you will see my Silent Armors. SC

BLACK SIDE OUT!!!!!!!!!!!

Wait a minute, how did Ups Ship them from TireRack.com to you in only a couple hours? What shipping did you pay for??? I went to American Tire and paid exactly $662.00 and that included tax, environmental fees, balancing, and install. How much did you pay?

 

[FordxMan]

Got the camera working, its dark and Sport Trac is dirty (took the Goodyears out in the mud) I will wash and take and post some awesome pics in the AM. You got a great deal on yours. Mine came to $880 installed Thats OK. They are the best rubber I have every had:Besides in California we always pay more for everything Show some pic of yours(white/brown out, he,he)

Besides in California we always pay more for everything

BRO I LIVE IN Southern California

I went to American Tire, when they gave me the initial price i said no and offered to pay less and they agreed. Tire prices are like buying a car the price is not set. Argue and bargan it works

True! We have tire stores on almost every block... we win! So we'll see pics in the morning?

 

[FordxMan]

Ok, here they are. enjoy the Pic's, 1st Pic is the OEM Mich,s. Next three are the Goodyears. They really are awsome and the pictures dont do them justice. Notice that my Sport Trac sits about 1 inch taller. Drives unbeliveable/smooth/fantastic. This is how it should have been from day one. I have to say that if you get a Magnaflow, and a K&N, with this rubber, your Sport Trac will be a great ride. Will enjoy the good times now and in da future!!!!SC P.S Black is such a great color when it's clean(Mine is always clean!!!!)

Oh yeah! also got a spare the same size, 265/65 18 Brigdestone AT on EBAY($65). It just fit under the back with extra care in the position of it. It's a tight fit but can be done!!!!!

FANTASTIC LOOKING GOOD!!!

I bought mine January 29th and i have around 3k on them and i still love them. wear is outstanding and i don't know if you have any plans in the future for going through snow but they will surprise you. Its funny how a simple change like going from a street tire to an A/T tire can totaly change the look of your EX. It went from to .

I will post pics of mine as soon as i find a good photo hosting site. Some of them as i have discovered want your cell number and i won't go for that.

Which one did you use???

You dont need a Pic site. Use the attach files, manage attachments at the additional options, just below in post reply to thread. You can upload from your computer pic files to post pics here!

Holy @$it! That is a change, and looks seriously sweet! Good move!

OH didn't realize you were elite, i am not, not enough $$$ on hand, i am out of a job right now so money is tight. Thanks anyways.

So what do you think of your new tires, I LOVE THEM, looking good. Have you tried them in the mud yet? Don't get me wrong when i drove through mud with mine their not mud tires but they performed outstanding, and their offroad traction is fantastic. I know its only been a few days but tell me what you think?????????

Try photobucket for posting your PICS. And by the way, your tire size 235/70 16 is only $524 from TIRE RACK. I thought you had my size that is alot more $$$. After some quick figures you would have paid the same through TIRERACK. So I think I got a good deal at $880 OTD installed.

: It has been an unreal couple of days. This is the best thing I have done to my ST. Love the Magnaflow, K&N, but this takes the cake I live in the central valley so there are lots of orchards and alfla fields to play in: While I dont normally like to get dirty, I just could not stop my self. These tires where fantastic. Now I know why I got a V-8 4X4.

If you have a ST with these rims I say run, dont walk to some place and do this upgrade. You will love it. Some additional Photo's.

Frist was a pic of a ST( my hero) that got me started down the path
2nd was a pic that got me thinking alot harder.
3rd was my frist addition, MAGNAFLOW (awesome performance)
4th is how tight the Brigdestone A/T (nice tire) fits in the well

Anyway, I hope you all can enjoy your ride like I do

 

[Essex4x4]

Glad you like the tires.
Your right about the price. The tires alone were about 560, the rest of the cost was labor and the environmental fees.

As for photobucket, i think it was that website that wants your cell number, forget it i will not go for that, just think about how many telemarketers i will get after a mistake like that. Once i get a new job i will try and spare the $20 bucks and go elite.

I do not think you lost 3 mpg's the tires are taller then stock so you will have to have the speedo adjusted for the new size tire. I have herd that you may lose some mpg but not 3 I hope.

Having the 265/65 18 instead of the OEM 235/65 18, Is there any issue with the speedometer? If not, what do you think of 275/65 18?

You will need a tuner like x-cal2 to adjust for tire size and I think 275 will rub
plus 275 is a little big for a 7.5" wheels.
