96 cruise vessel build

[Hyena]

15 sticks holy .  I will see how many we have. 

[Ramrod]

sure we'll use it all. My patience in looking for tires rewarded me a couple days ago when I got a call partway through a long night of drinking a few days ago from an "unknown" person who said they heard I was looking for tires, I went to check them out today and it turned out to be someone I knew actually and bought the pretty much new 35" toyo's for $400

[Sluice Box Hero]

nice find.

im stocked, im actually going to be able to go on the snow run!

when are you guys showing up?

Callen

[Ramrod]

ill show up there friday afternoon/evening, I dont know if anyone else from sonoma is going to come though

[Ramrod]

just looked up the price on these tires I just bought, holy who would actually pay that?

[gotrocks]

They are the Toyo MT's I'm assuming.

If so you scored big time.  I never payed what you probably saw them for because I have really good hookups with the local Les Schwabs here.  I will be running 35's Toyo MT's on my Tacoma for the street partially because I already had them and because they wear awesome.  You should be able to easily get around 30,000 miles out of those.  Try. them out wheeling sometime too. 

I have had 5 sets of those tires now on various rigs including 2 sets of 37's now on my tow rigs and they are hands down the best all around tire I've ever owned.

Thats cool! How much do they usually run for?   I like em though, I wish they made bigger sizes!

[Doof]

sounds like you found a tire you like...

[THK Matt]

over 300 a tire i believe

[skipnrocks]

Wow for a 35 thats alot.  I barely paid that for my 42s

[THK Matt]

i thought you asked for the 37s.
35s probably close to 300

been a year since i worked at the tire shop.

[Doof]

 

thats so much for 35's, i paid about 350 per tire/wheel combo for my setup, and i had the 2"backspace "custom" so it was another 40 ontop of the price of the wheel

[gotrocks]

When I bought a set of 37 Toyo MT a while ago I paid 205 a tire.  Now I think thats cheaper then the store buys it for because they keep going up in price.  I'd have to look though on what I paid for my 35's but it wasn't 300 a tire.

I agree that they should make them bigger.  I would love to run them on my buggy in a 42.  But the 40's they have right now only come in a 20" wheel or something huge like that.  Oh yeah and they around 700 a tire.  For that price I can buy 2 sets of 42 IROKS

Sorry for hijacking your thread Ramrod get some pictures posted now with the new tires.

[Ramrod]

the 35's from 4wheelparts are $344.95 a piece!!! I probably wont get them mounted till sunday or something, im pretty busy

[skipnrocks]

Their very simular to goodyear mtrs correct? 

[Ramrod]

they weight alot more, thats for sure and they are wider also

[boggerunner]

nice score, i just finished building an 89 4runner with 37/14.5 toyos and he paid 1400 for all new tires and black 15/10 rims, but he is the manager at big O tires so he gets the hookup

[Ramrod]
