You are one lucky SOB. Just kiddin'. You did get a good deal on them tires. Up here we would have to pay an arm and a leg for a deal like that. Also I don't know whether to get a lift first or get bigger tires.

Both at the same time would be awesome.

drum655 · 02-19-2006, 08:55 AM

You're just rubbin' it in to me aren't you?

Just kiddin'. I really gotta get tires. Take a closer look!!

drum655 · 02-19-2006, 09:26 PM

what size are those? i am about to have 5 255/55 r16's with %90 tread left for sale....you interested? they will be sold fairly cheap too!!!

RageRover · 02-19-2006, 09:31 PM

How cheap? Those baldies are 205/80 on a 16 inch rim. I'd be interested. What are they?

llesra · 02-19-2006, 09:32 PM

wow you need to put some more air in those tires!

RageRover · 02-19-2006, 09:36 PM

They were sitting at a sh$tty 30 psi when first picked up my Rover, and the last driver knows only how to fix people and not cars, so he only knew how to fill a gas tank and not a tire.

But I had no choice.

Oh and yes I filled them up before I hit the road, to get what tread was left of them.

drum655 · 02-19-2006, 09:46 PM

4 of them are dunlop grandtreks...and one of them is a michilen 4x4 which is an awesome tire! it was my spare when i got my rover! it is brand new, never been used. but the dunlops are great tires! wanna make me an offer for them?

RageRover · 02-19-2006, 09:52 PM

Funny, I have the exact same spare. How thick is the tread if it isn't a problem to measure?

I'd like to offer like $200 for em'. I'm just throwing out a number.

But I really need tires too.
