Cheapest Internet Order Tires?

awesome find!!! I may have to use them when I get new tires for the caprice! Where will you get them mounted and balanced??

I mount my own tires and never balance them.

Really? How do you get by with never balancing them???

I would think that'd shake like no one's business and you'd go through tires extremely fast....

All the tires I mounted myself I never had a vibration problem. Maybe just lucky I guess, I dunno. All I know is I am saving 20 bucks a wheel +/- doing it myself. Don't get me wrong, if i had one of those home balancing cones, I would give it a shot, but I have been fine so far without it.

Maybe you never go far enough fast enough

I picked up a set of "used" 285/70/17 falken rocky mountain ats from a local discount tire with 50miles on them for $75 a piece with road hazard. They said a guy put em on his 3/4 dmax it rained that night come back the next day traded em for some bfg km2's. they showed me the price on there computer and they were $225 a tire. Figure i got a pretty good deal

This is true. If I hit 65 mph it's very, very rare. I don't like going faster than that. I usually stay within 5 to 10 of the posted SL.

I'd have to say his is the case. No balancing of wheels??? Very uncomfy ride at about 55-75mph.

I've had no luck with that HF tire changer POS. I bought one for changing my ATV tires. It doesn't even work for those. Then I've tried mounting some trailer tires that were used. JUNK has been my experience with that thing.

yeah if you buy a tire machine i bought mine a few years ago from HF i don't remember what i paid for them i usually get about 45,000 miles out of my tires i pay around 74-77 each for them. they are not smooth riding being 8 ply the brand is STA super traction 10-15 truck tire.

i have no problems with it. maybe you need to read the instruction manual

buy some equal if you change your own tires, just throw the bag in at least the front tires to balance them
