Saving money on Tires


Recommended Posts

Yup, we all need em :)
I usually get mine from Discount. But...........

I decided to try Walmart. For the exact same BFGs KO2s I paid 76 bucks less for two of them.

How? Roadhazard....25 at Discount with a 3/32 limit on tread wear.......10 at walmart with a 2/32 limit

Mounting and balancing....18 at Discount..........9 at walmart.

Tire disposal fee......2.50 at Discount..........0 at walmart.

It all adds up.

Good luck to you all.

Hey Tom,

  As you know I'm now driving a GMC 2500HD Diesel 4x4.  Pretty heavy duty truck for the back roads of Arizona.  I managed to get away with the stock tires for a few years crossing my fingers on bad roads.  Finally it caught up with me and I was in the middle of nowhwhere and blew a front tire out.  I should have known better, but lucky I was in a spot I could change it to my spare and crawl out of their in hopes of not blowing another one.  

I have been a long time fan of BFG Mud Terrain and All-Terrains.  I ended up putting the newest KO2's on my rig also and love them.  No trouble yet ...., but I ended up paying $240 a tire since I have 20-inch rims.

I myself  saved way more buying tires online and even got free shipping. I run Goodyear Wrangler MT/R Kevlar which run about $1200 with mount and balance at (no) Discount Tires. I got them shipped last year for just over $700 then had them mounted and balanced for $75 at Big O. Tires have huge mark up at retail level. Tire Buyer .com is where I got mine last time. Dennis
