HELP tire question

[tom4bren]

I used to rotate mine at least twice a year. I've been a neglectful owner of late.

first off to everyone, thanks, but I had warranty issues with 2 tires when they were less than like a 1/3 worn, so I got free replacements is why I am always just haveing to replace 2 at a time normally. Now on the search function, of course I am not retarded and have searched for the exact size on tirerack, discounttire, google, craigslist, and ebay, BEFORE I ever posted anything here. I have decided to go with the 32x11.5x15 and maybe the 912 springs in the rear and remove my spacers back there, some say they didnt have to do longer rear brake lines with the 912 springs, but others say they did, so I need confirmation on that.

Twisted Symphony posted on 4/10 he had some unused s.s. brake lines...in case you end up needing them...http://vehicross.info/forums/showpos...33&postcount=4


Also, I love to negotiate prices on anything to do with a car.....
I've purchased many many tires from TireRack over the past 20+ yrs, but in the last 5 yrs or so, I've found that most "local" places will match their prices or come real close. Print out the page with the tire/price from T.R., call around the local stores, Discount Tire, Big O, Goodyear, BFG, PepBoys, private tire shops...and ask if they'll match or come near T.R. price. Ask for the owner or manager to ask about pricing.

Since you have to pay for mounting/balancing and sales tax (sometimes) somewhere once you receive the T.R. tires, you have to factor that amount in for an apples-to-apples comparison. Buying 4 gives you more negotiation power too.

Yeah, the local places usually have to order the tires you want, but that's usually less than one week to get them.

Another tidbit...T.R. will deliver your tires anywhere you want...so if I buy from them, I arrange ahead of time to have them delivered to my shop of choice..then I don't have to haul them. :-)

If you are putting 912's in then why not go to 33x12.5 r15? Here are some examples:

So are these the 32x11.5 r15 you are thinking of:

Unless you're changing to longer travel shocks you aint gonna droop any more than you do now(), so your brake lines will be fine as-is.

vicious, dude. Remember ... paybacks are hell.

Yep, now I have to get the new rear spings installed for her before Moab. Hope that will get me out of the doghouse.

LOL I took it as a compliment thinking I wont ever droop more than I am now!

[tom4bren]

I have no response to that.

VX Crazy--- My best advice would be just to get two(2) more Pro-Comp A/T's that you are currently using from 4WheelParts and not make any changes to your existing set-up/suspension. If Pro-Comp has discontinued your current A/T tire size, there is plenty of new stock sitting on a tire wharehouse shelf somewhere. You just need to find them via the internet, because those two(2) Pro-Comp A/T tires in your existing size are still out there. Find them and get them shipped to you-- problem solved.

[VX crazy]

tried, they have been discontinued for awhile, nothing left....all new tires come in next week

If you got 35's, I'll bring the 40's. You're gonna need them once we start cutting.
