Ok so my 2011 JKU needs new tires. I want to get wider tire for a more aggressive stance. I have a 2.5" lift and understand I can put 35's on but I do not want to our have the $$ to change gears or the spare tire carrier out. So I decided to do 33's. I have a place near me that has bf Goodrich AT 33x12.5x17 with the wheels for $1200 only 4 tires and they have 6k miles on them. Would you buy those or buy brand new from quadratec? On quadratec I'm looking at the Mickey Thompson's at with the Baja extreme wheels for $2400. What would you do?

If I get the 4 From this guy i still have to get a 5th wheel and tire. I just can't make up my mind which I should do and I'm looking for some advice

I'm selling 5 almost new bfg ko2 34/10.5-17 on 2014 Rubicon rims with tpms and 1.5" spidertrax for $1200 so I would say not a great deal.

Hmm I guess not when compared to your deal damn. New it is I guess

Check discounttiredirect
They have pretty good prices and will usually give you an even better deal if you call them
I got my cooper MTP's and rims for way less than the price you posted
Mickey Thompson tires are too dam expensive, much better deals to be had.

I'll check that out then. I definitely want a wider tire so I'm going to check now

Where in NYS are you, I have 33s Duratracs that will be for sale once my lift and 35s go on.

I'm in Dutchess county. I checked discount tire direct but they don't seem to have 33x12x17

Did you try simpletire.com? I've bought from them a few times. Great prices and great buying experience. Comparable to discount tires direct. Cheaper than Tirerack.

Do not purchase from Tirerack. If you get an LT (light truck) tire, which you will, they provide no road hazard coverage, even though they tell you all their tires come with free road hazard.
