Looking to buy some 35x12.5x17 or 315/70R17 tires. I would prefer BFG AT's, but I would consider some mud tires (no boggers, or mud grapps.. too loud). Must have reasonable tread, not neccesarilly brand new, but 65-85% would be acceptable. I'm not looking to spend $900 for tires, that's why I'm coming to you guys. I may consider tires mounted on LE rims, too. I like the look of the 6 spoke. I currently run the 17" offroad rims. Thanks in advance.

You forgot your location. And I will be selling mine soon once I figure out what mud tires I want to get. How much are you realistically looking to spend?

 

[$partacus]

Thanks for pointing that out. I'm located in Hampton, VA. Also, I'm willing to spend $500-$600 for tires in reasonable condition.

BTW, Just get some 54" Boggers like they had on project mega titan. You'd be all set.

 

[Yellomantis]

That is kinda the plan for the distant future... I don't have an unlimited budget like they did! Does my front bumper look familiar? I modeled it off mega titan.

Come to think of it, it does. Did you build it? Looks cool. I'm thinking of getting the Manik brushguard off ebay for $230. I'm trying to make my XE look like a clean factory upgrade. Maybe a 2" leveler, BFG AT's, brushguard, maybe some Bushwacker flares. This may be a shot in the dark, but do you know anybody that has experience with the Hankook MT's or the Kumho KL71's? I'm not far from the outer banks of North Carolina, so every once in a while I'd like to cruise the beaches. I got a little nervous with my stock Duelers spinning for traction in 4 wheel drive last time I was down there. Since my wife rides with me a lot, I don't want something too noisy (I've had swampers on past rides) I also don't want something that's going to wear out a year after I buy them.

I built it with a friend from the CORR racing series. It took the two of us about 30 hours to build, food and beer breaks included.

I don't know anyone that has experience with those tires, but judging from what you want, I would suggest the Toyo M/T's. I'm picking up a set tomorrow (if they're in stock), and I have talked with many people that have gotten 40-50K miles out of a set. They probably are one of the most quiet M/T's on the market too. They are a bit pricey, but they are worth it.

If I was closer I'd sell you mine. BFG AT's 315/70/17. Only had them on maybe 9K miles. Wishing I had gotten the Toyo MT's now. Quiet on the highway. A guy at work has them on his F-350. I'd get the 285/75/17. Just "slightly" smaller than the BFG 315's. Think they are 34.1". Ah well, maybe once the BFG's wear out.

 

[$partacus]

I appreciate the thought, yeti. Although, after seeing several people running the BFG AT in the 315 size, I really think that's what I want. I've seen a bunch of 'em on eBay (mostly mounted on Hummer rims), I've been trying to convince the sellers to take 'em off the rims. I found a deal on a set of 5 that only have 8,000 miles on them, if I can sell the Hummer rims, I might recover a few dollars.

 

[Yeti77]

That's the way to go. Get them off Hummers that folks have "dubb'd" up. HA A guy at work has the hummer wheels on his chevy. Looks good. My spare came from his deal. Was the hummer's spare, never used. And it does fit in the spare location fully inflated in case you were wondering.

 

[$partacus]

That's awesome, I was just talking to my wife about the spare tire this morning, (wondering if it would fit under the truck). In fact, I was just going to post that question, but now I won't need to. Thanks for the help. Now I know why I spend so much time on this forum! You people rock!:cheers:

 

[$partacus]

Bump: eBay failed me again! They canceled the auction I was bidding on! I still need tires, help me out.:futwice:

 

[$partacus]

Still looking, I've got money burning a hole in my pocket.

Who has the best prices on BFG's right now?

I've got (4) BFG Mud Terrain 315/75r16s that I need to get rid of. I'm in Jacksonville, FL but I'm geading up to SC April 4th. They're in good shape, no cuts, no road rash or anything.....just normal wear. The white letters still look awesome. Let me know if you're interested. I have pics too if you want me to post em.

Those will not work on any Titan with OEM hubs and brakes. Minimum tire size is a 17"
