Wanted: 35-38" tires w/wheels preferably

[mattadams]

I'm looking for some tires, preferably BFG All-Terrains or AT/KO's but will consider others... if they come with wheels that'd help me save some money, otherwise I can get some off ebay or something. In good shape please :).
(its a long shot I know... LOL)

[LEANINTREE]

FOR YOUR TRUCK? I HAVE A LINE ON SOME USED 35'S WITH WHEELS FOR A SUPER DUTY (8 LUG), BUT I'LL KEEP MY EYES OPEN.
DON

[mattadams]

if the tires were a good deal and in good shape, and he'd be willing to seperate wheels and tires I'd be interested. Unless you thinking of them for your truck... :).

[mattadams]

The Hummer H2's use 315-70/17 stock, which I'm told I can run o n my FX4 wheels, so I've been looking for those as well, problem is all that I find are either in California or New York, LOL.

[LEANINTREE]

PROBABLY NOT WILLING TO SEPERATE. IT'S MORE WHEELS WITH +/-TIRES AROUND THEM, RATHER THAN STOCK WHEELS WITH GOOD SKINS.
I'LL KEEP LOOKING THOUGH.
DON

[mattadams]

ahh ok, thanks... I'm looking for tires in good shape that I hopefully won't have to replace soon.

[mattadams]

Hey Don, dont you have some special contacts for shipping? I found a set of tires/wheels in California, Sprocket volunteered to take em to a depot if possible...

[LEANINTREE]

8) UM... MAAAAAYBE I DOES, MAAAAAYBE I DOESN'T...

WHY DON'T YOU GIMME SOME SPECS AND I'LL CALL MY BUDDIES...

(REALIZE THE LAST TIME I HOOKED A BROTHER UP HE STARED CALLING MY GUYS EVERY 5 MINUTES... ALMOST CAUSED ME TO GET A DRUMSTICK UPSIDE THE HEAD DURING THE NEXT GET TOGETHER JAM...)

J/K... IT CAN'T HURT TO ASK.
DON

[mattadams]

Its 4 tires and wheels, coming from Orange County, CA. Not sure how much they'd weigh but figure maybe 250 pounds total?

[LEANINTREE]

DON'T KID YOURSELF... :roll:

SO.... WHAT SIZE TIRES? 35" WITH RIMS, YOU'RE LOOKING AT 90# EACH IF IT'S A NICKEL... SO, 2 SKIDS, 250/SKID (YOU PAY FOR THE WEIGHT OF THE SKIDS ALSO)

LET ME KNOW A BIT BETTER SPECS AND WE SHOULD BE ABLE TO GET BETTER NUMBERS. THE SHIPPER WILL NEED BASICALLY EXACT NUMBERS ONE WAY OR THE OTHER, BUT FOR A QUOTE, NOT THAT CRITICAL.

[LEANINTREE]

KEWL. I ASSUME SPROCKET WILL PICK UP AND TAKE TO DEPOT? THAT'LL BE EASIER.

LEMME TALK TO MY GUYS.
DON

[mattadams]

yeah sprocket said he'd take it to the depot for me. I probably have to buy him booze next time I'm in California... LOL.

[Tray]

What is it, what is it, what is it? Unfortunately Border Manager won't let me check out ebay while at work, so I can't see it.

[mattadams]

Just a set of American Racing wheels with BFG AT/KO 35" Tires.

[Tray]

Did you see this deal over at FTW?

[mattadams]

yeah I had emailed him about it.

Matt I may have some 35x12.5x16's dunlops AT for you. They are the ones on my truck right now and only have ablout 3,000 miles on them. Great on-road tires but arent MT so off road they preform like what they are. It may be a few weeks though because Im waiting on a few things to come through (student loan) to buy the body lift and 38s. But e-mail me and maybe we can work something out.

[mattadams]

Let me know when you get rid of em! I might be interested :). I am definately interested in more of an all-terrain... the truck will mainly be used for driving my ass to and from work.

[clavos]

Where do I sign up for a student loan that allows for the purchase of a lift and tires. I'm having a hard time trying to get school paid for.

[Old9blue]

its not a student loan its the va bill and living at home so I always have some left over. When you dont pay 6-700 a month in rent money can go other places.

[Anonymous]

Matt,
I will sell you my 39.5" swampers off my truck. I need at least 42"s :lol:

[mattadams]

Hirolln, if you can make em fit, I'll buy em.
Cutting sheetmetal is not allowed.
LOL.

[Anonymous]

OK we will just lift the hell out of that rig! LOL

[mattadams]

For free? :)

[mattadams]

Hey Don, theres another guy in Huntington Beach, CA with some wheels/tires for sale, but he says local shipping only. I assume one of the California guys will help me out with getting it to a depot, if you can help with finding a depot and a reasonable shipping price I would much appreciate it :).

[LEANINTREE]

HI MATT,
LOOKS LIKE THINGS KINDA FELL THROUGH WITH MY BUDDYS. THEY ARE BASED OUT OF SALT LAKE ANYWAY, SO IT WOULD HAVE BEEN AN ODDBALL ORDER FOR THEM. YOUR BEST BET IS TO CALL *ALL* OF THE FREIGHT FORWARDERS IN THE DENVER BOOK (EGL GLOBAL, TEAM WORLDWIDE, REDDAWAY, SPIRIT EXPRESS, RAC TRANSPORT, ETC). HAVE YOUR 'WHERE FROM', DIMENSIONS, WEIGHT AND DROP DEAD DATE. GET A QUOTE, THEN TAKE THAT QUOTE ON TO THE NEXT OUTFIT. THEY WILL *ALL* SAY THEY CAN DO IT, SO IT DEVOLVES DOWN TO PRICE AND WHICH OUTFIT IMPRESSES YOU MOST. THEY ALSO KNOW IT WORKS LIKE THAT, SO THEY PRICE MATCH, AND TRY TO UNDERCUT EACH OTHER. FREQUENTLY, THEY SCREW UP AND CUT THEIR OWN THROAT JUST TO DENY THE BUSINESS TO OTHER COMPANYS. IT'S STUPID, BUT THATS THE WAY IT WORKS, SO USE IT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.
THAT'S THE BEST I GOT RIGHT NOW MAN, SORRY I CAN'T HELP MORE.
DON
PS: MAKE SURE THEY UNDERSTAND IT IS 'DOCK TO DOCK'. (DROPED AT THEIR CONTACT IN CALI, YOU PICK UP IN DENVER. *DON'T* LET THEM TALK YOU INTO DROPPING THE TIRES 100 MILES AWAY FROM THEIR SOURCE IN CALI THOUGH... THAT'S CRAP. THEIR CONTACT HAS CONTACTS IN EVERY TOWN BIG ENOUGH TO PUT A BURGER KING IN.

[mattadams]

Cool, thanks anyways! :).

[mattadams]

Well I bought some tires/wheels... and the guy I bought them from (not the guy with the ebay wheels/tires I was originalyl looking at) works closely with a shipping company, so it will be taken care of.
Hope these look good on the truck... if not, guess I can buy new wheels and sell the tires. They are 16" wheels so at least the replacement tires will be cheaper! :).
THey are BF Goodrich AT/KO (the exact tires I was looking for), 315-75/16 (supposedly 35", but we all know better! LOL)

[mattadams]
