Title: local tires = cheaper prices
Post by: Sierra4x4 on April 04, 2003, 12:14:00 pm

I shopped around a bit looking for my thornbirds im gonna get (yeah i know noone likes'em but me) I called National Tire and Wheel, Tyres1, and 4 whl Prts wholesale, desert rat, and never got a response from truck add ons, I would post prices but my wife seems to have thrown them all away... I do know its at least 200$ dollars cheaper here at a local place. Defenitly shop around when your going to make big purchases, usually big name= big price...

I took my Blazer to a mud bog a couple years ago and every truck I saw with them on didn't do crap in the pit. They filled right up with goo and spun.They do look cool. They are loud as heck on the road.

we'll see how well they do at my local trails. I know they are no bogger, but for an A/T tire they should suit me okay. Ill post on how i like them, or if i dont.
there is nothing like seeing those lugs sticking out the side of a tire. I just cant wait to get some bigger meats!
