This is my first post and i am a newbie so i hope this is in the right place and not inappropriate. Just ordered 5 mickey thompson mtz radials 35/ 12.50 17r, and 5 mickey thompson classic lock wheels Also got the black beadlock rings and lug nuts. Mounting and balancing were free and free shipping as long as i drive 45 minutes to pick up at the warehouse. total with tax....$2650, and i still can use the rebate for m/t , $100 when you buy 4 tires 35 and up, plus the $40 rebate when u buy 4 m/t wheels. I have been researching for about a month now and for the brand and price, it seemed that i could not pass this deal up. now i did opt for the (!) to run all the time because they wanted $80 per tire extra and then i would have had to go to the dealer to have them activated which would be another $100 i suppose.(not sure i understand the whole tpms, even after reading every post in here on them.) i like the post where the tpms picks up the signal from the old tires in the garage. i think i am going to go that route for now. I am going to read on how to post some pictures so i can update accordingly. glad to be a member.

 

Welcome aboard from one Newb to another!!!

 

thanks groovy55. if you find out about any organized rides around here let me know. we have atvs and go to the local mudfests around here but i would not mind taking the jk on a trail ride to let her stretch her wheels...

 

You bet Skullman. Make sure to join the sunshine state user group on here...they just did a trailing trip over Memorial Day weekend. Word is there'll be another one either over the summer or just after that.

 

great, i just submitted for acceptance to the sunshine state group. thanks again

 

Welcome aboard, Skullman!
Man, I envy those tires! I'm sure you'll love the set up once you get used to it! All I need is a better paying job

 

Do a quick search on the AEV ProCal

 

thanks, i figured i was gonna need to do something because the speedo would be off.

i really was looking to see if i got a good deal on the wheels and tires also. i did not want to spend quite so much( my wife didnt want me to spend over $1000..haha) but like i said after researching pricing and not finding mickey thompson mtz 35s alone for under 1500 for the 5 that $2500 out the door with the rebates looked pretty good. i did read that people say the mickey thompson wheels are high maintanence and will pit if i dont clean at least one time every 2 week...anyone have any problems with that?? thanks again for all the welcomes and help. only bad part about the new jk is that the 94 wrangler never gets driven

 

that sucks! but, especially if you live by the sea, no real choice, is there?

 

they wouldnt even sell those wheels to me i live in ny the guy said they were having to many complaints!!i dont know why they dont just clear coat em
