Default best 35's for you buck

I want 35's real bad and was just looking for suggestions on what a good bang for your buck is.

ALso if some one could help me get a selling price for 33 inch BFG All terrain tires with 800 miles on them let me know.


I plan on regearing to 4.88's getting an aussie front locker and leaving the LSD in the rear, because i dont wheel very hard at all. And i guess i have to add gussets in the front dana since i have a sport "formally known as X" if theres any other things i need feel free to chime in on that as well or if i should just do 5.13's

THANKS!!!

I got my pro comp xterrains 35's for 280 a piece and I got them during the buy three get one free
it was a hair over 1000 CANADIAN dollars for 4 tires mounted and balanced.... now they dont offer that deal anymore but still 280 a piece for a stout tire still sounds good to me

Hankook Dynapro M/T RT03 - 315/75R16s at close to $200/each delivered w/tax. So far, these are awesome both on highway and off-road. Got a set of 5 for just over $1K. Have about 8K miles on them now and going strong. Highly recommend these.

On the gearing, since I see you have a 6-speed, 4.88s should do you plenty good. 5.13s would be overkill and way low for a manual tranny; on automatics, 5.13s are preferred.

Craigslist find: 4 BFG KM2 35's for $325 for all four. They had about 60% tread left, just had to track down a used spare from the local used tire shop which cost me $35.

I was skeptical at first because I was unfamiliar with the brand but my Maxxis Bighorns have been the best tires I've owned. About 180 bucks apiece to my door.
