I've heard they are good tires. I was offered these tires (4 - 35's) for $600 -yes brand new!

If you haven't bought them, I suggest you try 4-Wheel Parts Wholesalers if they are near you to get a comptetive estimate. Shop around if you have the chance or time to do so.

$1500/4 = $375 a tire. I paid $386/tire one week ago for 38/14.50/17 new MT/R kevlars.
where did you get your mt/rs i plan on getting them soon in that size also can i see a couple of pictures

there's another thread on this that was posted a while back...these tires aren't available in any size bigger than 35" (per a General rep over the phone)...if you Google the reviews though, they seem to be very popular, especially with Toyotas and pick-ups....$375 each for those is ridiculous....

Check out the current issue of JP magazine. They have a wheel and tire section and the grabbers are reviewed...Their biggest issue is their weight

I'l post some pics this weekend when I get my jeep back.

I got my tires at 4-Wheel Parts. I also added the road hazard waiver for free replacement if I cut them. The tires have an $80 rebate through them right now. I paid cash and got the rebate, but if you go with the goodyear card to pay them off, the rebate becaomes $160, or $40 a tire!

I was trying to suggest the same thing. The price seems quite high.

Default General Tires

I had Generals on my other truck. The one thing is that these tires are very heavy other than that they are great tires.

Check out Discount Tire Direct they have the 33's for about $220 and the 35's for about $235, I may be off by a few dollars but none the less cheaper than most places I've seen especial 4wheel parts

when you buy the tires you can apply for the goodyear credit card to get the extra $80 discount. If you have the cash, just pay the entire balance off the first month.

$160 discount off 4 MT/R's.
