tires?

[smoothengagement]

hey, it looks like i wont be able to purchase new tires for a long time, and my tires are trash, everytime i take off they cherp or spin, i have no traction when its even a little wet, so i was woundering if any one had a set that would fit and have more tread then mine do? and if they would be willing to see them go so thay could have more space?

[Warrlord]

A buddy of mine has a set of tires with about half treadlife still on them. They're 225 15's I think. If that size will work for ya, I'll ask him what he wants for them. I know he'll let 'em go for real cheap since he lifted his Ranger & won't put 'em back on.

[smoothengagement]

id like something a little bigger, but i cant be choosy i need tires.. so yeah please ask him?!?

[rpenner54]

I have one 30x9.50 Allterain type tire. It's a brand new one and I just have one. But it's yours if you can find another 3-4 to go with it. Plus it should be bigger by an inch then your stockers. :)

[smoothengagement]

i would love it.. when i buy tires thats the size im going to get, so i could allways use it as a full size spare or what ever!

[rpenner54]

Cool, shoot me an email/pm whatever when you want it. :) I just want/need it out of the garage. :P

[smoothengagement]

cool ill hit u up

[UrbanCowboy]

I have a set of four 235/75 R-15 tires that are in good condition. They came on my truck when I bought it. I don't know what size tires you run

[Warrlord]

Hey Smoothy, I talked to him today about those tires. He already sold them.

Sorry 'bout that.

Check out Urbans' post above, that size would look better than 225's anyway.

[smoothengagement]

urban thats what is on it now, do u want to give em up? and how much? i really tires fast. every damn time i take of especially turning right i loose traction!

[UrbanCowboy]

Hey Smooth. I'll be out in Englewood this evening hanging with an old girlfriend. I can throw the tires in the truck and you can have a look at them. Give me a number and let me know where I can meet you. I dont know when I'll be by exactly, but it sounds like you're home most the time. To be honest, I need to look at them again before I can know price. I believe I was thinking $50 for the set before but like I said, I'd need to look at them again. They are in good shape tread wise. I'll also look online this afternoon and see if I'm out of line on price (which I very well might be).

[UrbanCowboy]

Alright. $50 looks reasonable, but I'm going to go down to $35..... Cheaper if they're not as good as I remember.

[UrbanCowboy]

Dude! I went to Mom's house to get the tires and they've been Stolen!! Sorry dude. I'll heck my house but I'm pretty sure I had em at Mom's. :( :(

[smoothengagement]

that sucks!! let me know if u find em, my number is 303-761-0575

[UrbanCowboy]

What's the most you want to spend? I'll keep an eye on the Internet for anything I can find.

[smoothengagement]

to be honest i cant spend much..... thats why if u had some for less then 50 it would have been awesome! in around a week i should be getting a little money, but not much more then 100 150.... i hate this shit right now! i feel so stuck!!! thank you urban for trying to help!!

[CNTRYCOWBOY]

try going to places like big 0 and discount tires and see if you can find a set of used. I've got a used tire there once for my spare, it was practicly prandnew and i think it was $30.

[UrbanCowboy]

I sent him an IM with your phone #. I also said he could give me contact info and I could forward it to you if he really wanted. Anyway, I suck at remembering names, especially online. I told him your name was Eli, which I got off cardomain. Just thought I'd let you know.

[smoothengagement]

ok i figured it out, im stupid sometimes! thank you urban!! ur a good guy!!

[UrbanCowboy]

Smooth -

This is the reply I got. Not sure if he's referring to you or not. Might go login and check what he said to you.

"Thanks for the hint. I currently have a person interested if he falls through I will give your friend a call. Thanks"

[smoothengagement]

no i didnt messege him! damn this sucks!!!!

[clavos]

Hey smooth, I'll talk to a couple of connections that may be able to hook up a set of used for free, or close to it. I'll let you know what I learn.

[smoothengagement]

cool, thank you very much!

thank you!

[smoothengagement]

ok i need to know if im going to be able to fit 31x1050x15 on my truck. i can have them for free if they will........ even if they rub a little its cool..as long as it isnt bad you know??

[mattadams]

I dont know 100% for certain, but I'd guess you can...

[UrbanCowboy]

Well how much bigger are they than your current tires? What do you think? According to this site, it looks like a negative.

http://www.oly4x4.com/fitmentguide.htm

It also looks like your stock tires should be 215/75-15 which is more like a 28".

It's a tough call man. Maybe you could get free tires and invest in a cheap 3" body lift. ;)

[smoothengagement]

cool, i read back over my first post about tires like how ever many months ago it was.. and people said i could stuff em in there. so i told the guy i would take em! im gonna have tires!!!!!!!! yeah!!!

[smoothengagement]

well look at my pictures! thats with 235/75/15.... granted the damn things are practically racing slicks! how cheap could i get a body lift for?

[UrbanCowboy]

235s are like 29 inches. Good luck. I'm sure you'll find a way to get em in there. I sure hope they work for you. A body lift should run about $120.

[smoothengagement]

HMMMMMM. that might be an idea! if these tires are good, and will last at least 6mo.(the bald ones have lasted almost 4) i might do that! i want to get lifted anyway! ok who wants to help me, if i can get a lift?!?????

[Walker2970]

just paid $100.00 for my body lift at ORI check them out and shop and compare they will price match or beat at least they did for me


Jake

[smoothengagement]

nice!! i might just be able to pull that off. it would be nice!! but some of you guys would have to help me!

[clavos]

I knew a guy a long time ago that used hockey pucks for a body lift. Not that I would reccomend such a thing, but certainly is cheap.

[smoothengagement]

yeah... we talked about that when we went to Hooters. id be kinda scared to do that, ive heard alot of different opnions on it, but i would rather wait intell i can aford the real thing... but if i can find a complete kit for around 100 i might be able to get it very soon

[Walker2970]

well here is the deal you get the 31's and ill trade ya for a set of 235-75-R15's in good shape just need 1 screw removed and pluged but it dose hold air lol let me know


Jake

[smoothengagement]

GRRRRR. so the guy leaves me a PM saying ihe got the tires dismounted and i could come get em! left his #... i call no answer so i leave a message. he calls back and says somebody allready came out and got em... maybe im dumb, but the fact that he said I could come get them... i thought they were mine, but NOOOOOOOO.... so im back looking for some damn tires!!! this sucks ass!!!

[Tray]

Too bad you don't have 16s.

These would be good - http://denver.craigslist.org/car/62553858.html

[smoothengagement]

yeah that is to bad!! anyone got 16's for me?? J/K

[CNTRYCOWBOY]

Man this sucks, I have rims with tires that I would give you, but they won't fit. keep checking craigs list there's usually some good deals on there.

[Glass]

Im still looking for tires for niels....still havent found any, if i come across some 16's for him, or some 15's for you, ill scoop them up.

--John

[smoothengagement]

ok man cool!!! it just sucks that everything keeps falling trough.... i need good tires, and i dont have the money to buy new ones! i hate being poor!

[Tray]

Sounds like maybe a trip to pull-n-save is in order.

I know that a tire+wheel from them is 12.99 with a $5 deposit for the rim.

4 tires + wheels + admission should be just under $73

[smoothengagement]

yeah last time we were they we found some good ones, just didnt have the money then

[Glass]

[smoothengagement]

[smoothengagement]

ok i got 4 225/75/15's, they are goodyear wrangler A/T's .. not a whole lot of tread life left, but much better then whats on it now... and the best part is they were FREE!!!!

[mattadams]

Glad to hear you got something that will work.

[smoothengagement]
