i know i can order aev pintlers from northridge but they don't carry tires do they? i've looked at a couple of web sites but none seem to mount and balance. i only have a sears and a ntb near me and i really don't trust either from previous experiences. any suggestions?

 

You could make a weekend of it and head up to Jersey to OK4WD to get AEVs and tires then shoot up to Rausch Creek for some wheeling.

OK does do online sales - I just don't know if they ship the tires mounted but it would be worth checking. They're a solid shop.

(They mounted BFG's on my AEV's I got from David @ NR)

Also - post up in the East Coast section. There are definitely some Maryland-folk (Piratekitty, UGOTKERN) to ask.
