i need new tires

[94bronco58 10+ year member]

they look a lot better than the AT's to me. i think i am maybe going with the interco iroks next though. i was going to put AT's back on my dads truck, but you couldnt find them anywhere in 33x12.50x16.5. they were on backorder for a long time, plus 16.5 is getting outdated quickly. goodyears ****, interco is too much for him (he hates the noise and ride), pro comps ****, and the BF mud is a good tire, wears ok, and doesnt make too much noise. we were having problems with the ATs wearing weird and getting out of round.

We have like 8 of the 33x12.50x16.5 AT's in stock haha, I just put 4 new ones on my girlfriend's dad's truck like a month ago.... depends on where you go I guess.... not much difference in the 16's and 16.5's, different degree of taper on the drop center and that half an inch is the only difference, don't know why they had to make them and confuse everyone

what kind of tires are you looking at? my dad is going to have to put tires on his car pretty soon, it will be around 1000 bucks, and those generally last only 15-20k since the fronts are rears are different sizes and you can only rotate them side to side, and it tends to make you stick your foot in it.

looking for 275/35 r20s (27.58" tall). would like to run them all around, but the 275/45r20s (29.74" tall) have lotsa tread left, only ~7000 miles on them.

getting the ride lowered soon, need to have at most 28" tires in front and 30" in back to avoid rubbing. cheapest 275/35r20s i've located locally go for ~$300 each with all the road hazard goodies

just go with the same size all the way around. it will be cheaper in the long run because you can rotate them properly, not just side to side.

Or you could get a tire with a higher tread wear //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

or get four matching tires with a higher tread wear, then really get the most out of your money.

looking cool is personal preference. i am not a fan of any rake whatsoever, but that is me. obviously you think otherwise as you are entitled to, but dont diss my style, because i dont diss yours.

if he lowers his truck and it sits level, putting a larger tire in the rear will give it a little rake. i didnt diss your style, i said it was personal preference.

I still never said it would be a rake

and just about every single stock truck out there sits lower in front.

if he levels it out and puts a larger tire in the rear, it will have rake. on a side note, do you know what rake is?

edit, crossed up with another thread.

listen up dipshit. no matter what the **** he drives, if it is leveled out or not, if you put a larger tire in the rear, it will have rake.

rake- when the front end sits lower than the rear end.

Im quite aware of what a rake is

If you actually read before you posted you would see that i said the majoroty of stock trucks come with a rake. When you load the bed it levels out.

Dont call me names, i didnt call you names.
