thanks for the the input. Do you guys know if tire shops will mount tires that you buy online?

 

any shop will... merchant mounted my maxxis on my jeep when i had them.

 

Just something to take into consideration. When I bought my 35x13.50 yeah they were cheaper online. By the time I added 100 bucks shipping(they're heavy) and 50-60 bucks to get them mounted and balanced and the hassle of taking them somewhere. Plus the fact if I had a problem I could go back to where I bought them and talk to the guy that sold them to me personally and not somebody 800 miles away over a phone that couldnt give a sht. Im totally about mail ordering stuff and saving a buck, but I have had big tires before on other trucks and had problems with balancing, out of round tires, etc and this time around it was worth it to go local. Just my .02

Who knew that buying tires would be stressfull. I like this for a combo. Not the prices but the look. What would I have to do my truck(which is stock) to make these work? Thanks for any help.

They look like the should fit if I understand what they are saying about their offsets. That is a cheap price for shipping.

 

is the harford tire that you guys speak of the one in darlington?

 

It is up Route 1 by the Wawa, not sure which town though.

 

Pulled the trigger today and ordered the Toyo open country MTs. Size 285/75/17. Man was it a pain. Could only find two companies that could even find this size tire that wasn't online or a long way away. Went with Admiral Tire in Annapolis. They were the cheaper of the two companies I compared. Now I can add this to the list of mods along with the bedliner and floor mats(lol). I will have them installed next monday and I will get some pics finally.

 

Got my tires today. Toyo Open Country MT 285/75/17. They look great. I will post some pics when she is clean.

 

posted some pics in my gallery. they are pending approval. I am driving the truck to some remote cell sites next week in Canada via logging roads. I will report how the tires do.
