Default Tires

Does anyone know of a good preice for a set fo 285/70/17 all terrain or mud terrain tires? I need to buy to sets as my boses tire are worn out too. I like the BFG and Kuhmo, but I am willing to look at anything that works well and will last.

SMOKE,
I like that ( lol). "My boses tires"I put coppers on about 50,000mi ago. They are all terrain and have a pretty aggresive looking tread, but are quite and smooth on the highway. They are good tires. Not excellent off road or as a performance tire, but they are good to get you to work and back, and they look pretty good. With an allignment they ran me just under $600. 50,000mi and they still have real good tread, and I burn the hell out of them. Hope this helped

Yeah I am hoping that if I get him a good deal he will help me out with the cost. He has an 04' Titan and I love to beat him home. It is a tie so far when we race, but off the line before the upgrades he always won. I have not had the opportunity to try again since the upgrades. Also the cops have started to increase traffic on the roads we drive.

Ive got 285/75/16s on my truck and they are the bfg all terrains. They were 170 apiece so im sure the 17s will be ten to twenty bucks more apiece, but i love these tires they work good all around and ill admit im not nice to my truck.

I had 35 12.5 15 BFG mud terrain on my old truck and they were great, still good tread after 50K. I only paid $120 a piece for them, but that was 7 years ago (i know this was a good deal even then) and hey were 15" rims. All 17" rims seem to be expensive and I just cannot afford the prices I find now.

Next on the wish list, true dual exhaust with x-pipe, and 40 deltas. But tires first. We had a bad rain storm on christmas day and I hydroplanned all over the highway on the way to moms.
