HELP tire question

[VX crazy]

I am in need of 2 new tires before Moab and go figure they have discontinued my size.....went through this years ago when BFG did the same thing....so I have 2 more than 1/2 new tires on front and now I guess need to replace all 4, plus full size spare.....so question is what should I do? Go an inch taller and an inch narrower to the 32x11.5x15?? And if so does anyone run that size and have a photo I could see? Ugh...I do not like change and I kinda need to move quick since Moab is right around the corner!

Two words for ya.....Terra Grappler.

Sorry, doesn't answer your question, but I just like the tires so much that I bought my second set a few weeks ago and finally put them on the VX this past weekend. Rollin' on the TG's again....gotta love it.

Seriously, though, I guess it depends on the look that you're going for. Right now it looks like your tires stick out past your fenders, so do you still want that look, or do you want them to tuck up in the fender wells more? Could you find a tire with a similar look to your current ones from another manufacturer so you would still have the same look?

[VX crazy]

I like SAME, I want the same look or closest to it! Had the TG's on this one when I first got it and prefer this look.....but the width of 12.5 is discountinued.....so wondering if 32x11.5x15 is the closest thing to looking the same? I think it maybe my only alternative....ugh....

Cooper Zeon LTZ seem to be getting a following too. I like mine. 285/60-18 run about $160- $180 out the door. Love the TGs too though.

Thanks Sue, but I have 15" steel wheels.....I dont do well with change!

Lisa, are you looking to stick with BFG's? If so then you'll have to go with their line of tires, if not you may be able to find a tire with a similar look and size to the tires that you currently have. If you do go with an 11.5" wide tire instead of a 12.5" wide tire you will only be losing 1/2" per side so it will make a difference on how they look, but not that much. Run outside with a ruler and see if you could live with losing 1/2" from how far your tires stick out.

What is the total size of your current tires (size and aspect ratio if it's listed on them....i.e. 285/60/R18)?

[VX crazy]

current is 31x12.5x15

I think I can live with give or take a 1/2 inch......LOL

[etlsport]

what brand/model tire do you have on there now?

[VX crazy]

pro comp all terrain, used to have bfg's all terrain til they did away with the size......

y'all I just am a tad freaked out by a 32" tall tire.....what do you guys think?

[RamAirZ]

Why are you freaked out about a 32? I have a buddy here with 32x11.50's on his Toyota and they look awesome. I know it's not a VX but easy to see the style and size. I'd just do the 32', that's what I am going to be running on mine here soon.

I bet you can find 2 new tires of the make and model you like. Try ebay and the tire wholesalers. When a model is being discontinued the factory remains are generally wholesaled out instead of trying to find space.

I have tried, googled and everything! 4 wheel parts probably WANTS to sell me a full set instead so they may not say if they have em or not, should I call an out of state 4 wheel parts?

[circmand]

what the tires you like are but try www.tirerack.com and www.tiresavings.com also ebay using brand and tire size limiting to 4x4 shops is a waste of time if a place sells tires they have tires a 4x4 place is most likely waiting for an order and drop shipping from the warehouse.

Lisa,

I'm kinda in the same boat. My fronts are worn out but the rears are still good. If I could find 1 Wrangler MT 33x12.50R15, then I could get another year before buying a new full set.

Don't you guys rotate your tires? I'm on my ninth set of tires and I've never seen even the slightest sign of unusual wear. I've also had plenty of front end alignments.

You can rotate your tires in your own driveway in twenty minutes. No excuses. Believe it or not, I was actually planning on doing that today.
