Thumbs up to Dexter and the Tire Rack - 20/01/04 05:30 PM
Big thumbs up for Dexter and the Tire Rack. I've been wanting Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs, but locally they were just too expensive. I was going to replace the metric BFG AT's on my stock 16" wheels at Costco, but then saw the rebate for Goodyear Wrangler MT/Rs on Tire Rack.
For almost the same price as putting BFG AT's back on the 16" wheels, I was able to get 31x10.5-15s on "new" factory 15" take-offs (thanks to another poster who mentioned buying the rims from the "winter" tire packages on the Tire Rack site!).
I had to get the tires shipped immediately to qualify for the rebate, however their only warehouse that had them didn't have the steel wheels (and getting them shipped separately, then installed locally would kill any savings). Dexter found that they did have the rims, but not the lugnuts, and was able to put the order through and ship the lugnuts separately.
Wheels + tires showed up this morning and are installed. I used the original chromed lugnuts, as the new ones were a different size and I didn't want to carry another tool.
The magic of perspective distortion:
...and a driveway shot, post checking them out across the neighbors lawn.
