Tire Prices , Ouch!!!

[Petescj]

Awhile back I was looking for 33s and was stunned at how much new tires run these days. I ended up getting a really good deal on 5 barely used 33 x 12.5 x 15 Goodyear MTRS for $700. Now Im looking for 35s and they are $260 a tire? I guess I should be thankful that I can forget about a spare and use one of mine but man ,

Hey Pete,......... feel this Pain !!..........Goodyear Eagles 36x17.00x16 on beadlocks we swap them side to side every 3 runs good for about 15 runs total or once the sidewall starts to go away.......which shows up quickly when the car slows down at the 60ft clocks.
$600 a tire $1200 a pair..............

Yea tire prices have really gone up in the last year or so.
It seems like 35's and up have gone up even more than the smaller flavor.

Two tires in Nov. for the M5 were $500 each (285/35ZR19) and a rim was $1000. I was not happy!

I don't remember what my 33's and rims were about 13 years ago but I'm sure I'll get a shock when I price them again!

Wow guys that's crazy

- At least the ZR19's are rated for 240 mph even if the car will only do 204...

I paid around 700 mounted and balanced for my 33x12.5x15 MTRs last year. Bought them with the GY rebate and got 160 bucks off. Also got a deal at the local tire place. The rebate is still going on if you are interested.

Set of four Michelin LTX AS 255 70R17's for my company truck was $1,200 mounted and balanced. Ten ply. Only tire I have gotten more than 45k miles out of with hiway and lease road driving. (That's about 9 months for me)


This won't be too expensive Dear! That's what I keep saying. Over and over again.

Paid $1500 for my K2's on my JK, 35's (technically 34.5's)

Thats just insane.

Gotta admit that looks like its worth the $100 plus a pass on the fun meter though.

I considered 33s for a minute. If Im gonna buy a new set may as well go 35s. The Mtrs should give me a good life span... I hope

What mods can I do to my Cj to get it to 204?

Thats where I'll probably what I'll end up spending.

Yeah and for that money you think theyd give you a true 35.

I can send you a BMW M5 badge!

 

[Petescj]

That's what gets me, you don't even get what you pay for.

Get the goodyear credit card. Doubles the rebate instantly. You get the 160 in the mail. I got the card and paid the tires off immediately. It was a fast 160 bucks off a set of four. Awesome tires. I love them. Great in the woods and actually really good on the street.

 

[Kilo19]

For my truck and suburban I'm getting copper. Hadn't heard anyone mention these. But I love them never had a problem but I pay about AMC 150 a piece. Cooper discoverer ATR and a/T3

They have better off road ones but haven't looked yet. Don't want to give myself a heart attack. I liked the Goodyear wrangler Silent armor. But at around 200 a piece ouch

We are too like minded. Its scary.

There were only two tires I was considering anymore. The Goodyear MTR's and the Mickey Thompson MTZ's. Looks like its gonna be the Goodyears.
