Best Place to Buy Tires? which tire to get? BFG MT, M.T. Baja, other suggestions?

JDJ · Jun 8, 2010

I am looking to buy some tires for my '76. I was just wanting to get everybody's opinion about where to buy tires?

I currently have a set of 315-75-16 BFG M/T that were given to me (they were pretty slick but held air.....thats more than I can say for the tires that came on the truck!)

I like those tires but am also open to suggestions as to what tire to run.

3-1/2" lift, 302 ci, 3 on tree, and I believe 3.50 gear ratio....I know several folks will say that the gear isn't low enough but i'm fine with it so far. been runnin this combo for a few months since I got the truck road worthy.

Truck is street driven and some off road. Nothing too extreme. Off road conditions are usually just dirt, hills, mud, and wooded areas. Not too many rock crawling places here in south AL.

suggestion on places to buy, name brand to get, any other suggestions?

Hopefully the 4 Wheel Parts discount is on the mounting too.

Ordered tires online from them, then went to local store to pick them up and have them put on my wheels (off the Bronco). It was over $100, which seemed a little high...or a lot.

I haven't had the best of luck with 4WD Parts mounting tires, and when you need service there may not be one arround. You would think that if anybody could mout a large tire and get it balanced they could. Nope. After three trip way out of my way to get tire right I took it arround the corner to discount. They got it right and didn't charge me because I usually buy all my tires there.

Discount tries are everytwhere and they will beat ANY deal you can document. I saved almost $75/tire on BFG ATs because I found them on sale on an internet site. Forwarded the link to discount tires and the NEXT morning they called me and told me they had two instock at tne closet store to me and would have the other two the next day if I wanted them.

After taxes I saved over $300 and there are discount tires everywhere if I have problems.

WalMart? :-X hehe just kidding, making light of the other thread that is going....

4 Wheel is the only I know of that offers the tire replacement for destroying a tire offroad. That would be about the only thing I would get from them. And AL has plenty of wheeling. Morris Mountain I think would be closest to you. Granted all a few hours away, but worth the trip.

Other than that, BFGs I have always liked for a street rig. Seem to wear like stone on my stuff.

Ok guys I will check out 4 wheel parts.....sounds like they have a good rep.

The other day I saw a link in a thread of a place that some folks were talkin about buyin tires from.....I looked on here for 30min-1 hr a little bit ago and couldn't find the link.

The folks that were talkin about this site said that this site had the LOWEST prices anywhere. I just can't remember the site

Morris Mountain is prob one of the closest places.....I have heard of it, never been, had friends that have been......that place is about 3-4 hrs from me.

I'm located in the southeast corner of the state. If you go about 10-12 miles south of Dothan you are in Florida........if you go about 25 miles east you are in Georgia.

JDJ · Jun 8, 2010

This is the first time I have had a 4X4 and not exactly sure which tire to get.

I want a tire that is not going to have a lot of road noise or humming........ which I know is notorius with big tires.......

So far the BFG MT that I have on there now (which are just about worn out) are not loud at all which suprises me.
