    i replaced them with a cheap off brand tire on my ranger. i think the brand was bluestreak, i could be wrong. they performed the same as toyos, which was just as ****ty:jester:

    Were they A/T or M/T? I ran a set of 33" m/ts last summer and they sucked in the rain lol

    psh, $400 is a good deal. I spend more than that on fuel in a month. I'd rock the shocks for probably 50k+ miles

    Well shoot... They're the only one that makes a 285/70R18...
    Do you know of any other a/t tires that are around a 35"x11.5 ? I don't want to go smaller than 34" or wider than 12" .....

    Though I have a set of dedicated snow tires...so dirt/pavement/ is mostly where these will go. And I like the mileage warranty on them

    No haven't bought yet. Need my steady summer job to start first. It doesn't have to be an 18", 17" would be fine too... You wouldn't think a 35" all-terrain would be that hard to find under 12"...

    Lol that's one tank for me. $4/gal + 36gal/tank = much fail

    I can do 17s no problem either, but no bigger than 18.

    I'll probably go with 5100s. Just use the HBS I have and the cheap 5100s. It's not like I'm running through the whoops in my truck anyways :jester:

    hahaha alot of people like the 5100s. im loving my RS5000s.

    if you go with a 17" rim you have 4 times the choices of tires lol
