Default Kinda bummed

Well guys my lift is on the way but i cant get a hold of any 37\12.5\15R tires. I tried goodyear mtrs and super swamper Trxux mts and they are all on national backorder. No one can give me any sort of idea when they might be able to get them. So A and A next month is having a sale on pro comps, buy 3 get 1 free. So i can get 4 35\15.5\15R pro comp mts for 635$. The price is nice but its not 37s so im sorta bummed but the price is right. What do you guys think I should do.

Go with the 35's and put the extra money somewhere else. I think 33's-35's are just right.

I went ot get a quote at a store today for 35 inch Iroks and BFG MT's and they were $500 or more EACH. Sure this is Canadian funds we are talking about, but if its gonna cost me $2500 just for rubber, screw it. Stock is fine by me.


Anyone have any good ideas where in Canada to check tire prices online?

Try www.1010tires.com for you canadians....

I remeber A while back you could get BFG Crawlers A LOT cheaper through them until BFG caught on to us in the states buying them over there and having them shipped to the states....

I agree with the idea of sticking to 35s. 37s are deceptively larger and much harder on drivelines, suspension, and steering parts especially. I've gone a ton of places on 33s and don't feel the need to go that big. I'm going with the Mickey Thompson MTZs (315/70R15) since they have siped tread and a MT/R-like tread pattern without the Goodyear price bump. Summit Racing has them listed for 219 and local 4wp offered them for 213. I had Goodyears on my TJ - great tires, especially after I siped them. With only a 34" (305) available in the 17 and for almost $80 more per smaller tire, I'll try something different.

Sounds like a rape was about to take place....you can buy good 35's for as little as $200 a tire,...try NSOR.COM or NATIONAL4WD.COM both great CDN resellers, I've always got good deals from them....

In Edmonton,...Derrick dodge has some of the best prices in town for tires, just talk to Craig at the parts counter on the truck side (435-3618), I bought my last few sets from him, he was considerably cheaper than any other shops in town.

I think if you want 37" tires don't settle keep looking tell you find want you want.
