[kiyul4130]

[Jud]

37s garenteed

Nice. Those are the tires I want!

[skipnrocks]

Sweet !!!! 


I wish their were more options for a 40in tire that was a dd tire!

[lilbuddy [OP]]

from who, where?

Jeremy (Wilson) for 650

37s garenteed

Yeah. Im gonna get them on tomrorow. Schwab wouldnt mount them cause they blow ass and theres a slight gash in the sidewall and they said its bad yet a guy up there (Dan) said its no big deal... Totally gay

[THK Matt]

show the gash...
cause if its small, it may not matter.... but leak. put a patch on the inside to keep air....
but if its big enough.... its not repairable and it will blow out.

THAT is why les schwab will not do it, most corp. businesses wont.
local guys will!

good deal on those tires... i can wait to get some.

Its the size of a quarter and cant even see the damn cords

Oh well they suck. Im going to try to go to americas tire co or les schwab in chico first.

[THK Matt]

thats weak sauce man.
that shouldnt matter unless its ALL the way thru and torn.

to to americas tire, and have them patch the inside for personal peace.
and have them mount you up.

any les schwab will most likely tell you to go stroke a duck before they'll mount 'em.
good luck though.

Too bad you arent in Modesto. I could mount them for you for free. I love having access to a tire machine!

I have one at school, one at my brothers work, one in my buddies garage, and one out at a buddys shop.

[THK Matt]

man... lucky.

im thinking of getting the tire tool to dis mount it and do it myself.... air the tire down pop the bead... take it off.... put a new one on... spray some eather and BAM! mounted

[Hyena]

demounted and mounted all 4 of my 40's, some by myself!  not that hard with a couple tire spoons.  are you gonna sell the 40's chris?

[skipnrocks]

Maybe you could pick up a set of cheap rims, or beadlocks to mount up to one set, and then just swap tires for wheelin.

[gotrocks]

Yeah I'd still take the IROKS for wheeling.  I've never been really impressed with the MTR's.  Seems like a good street tire but not as good as an IROK off road.

[Darrin530]

congrates lil nubby

did you get rid of those 2" backspaced cragar black steelies?

Too lazy. Theyre already sold.

No these tires are the reason i got rid of the 40s

Yeha but i still drive way too much street compared to anyone, i drive to the treail a lot more and even keeping the iroks for wheelin only would mean i need another set and that other set would look absolutely gay on my truck because i could only run 35s because thats all i could afford

congrates lil nubby

did you get rid of those 2" backspaced cragar black steelies?

No why would i

[THK Matt]

i think youll do fine with what u got.
MTRs are a good tire and 37s are BA.

[tom w.]

Have you ever run a 37" MTR?

[skipnrocks]

Since your dropin tire size are you goin to try and lower your truck a little bit more?

[lilbuddy [OP]]

I know... I ran them for 3 years.

and no it doesnt look fine it looks stupid now.

3 years

Truck cant lower anymore. Front springs are already flat.

[skipnrocks]

I partially know the answer but what made them such a bad road tire?  Just noise?

[Hyena]

no, they wear way to fast on the street.  37" MTRs were a great tire when i had them.  they took me places i haven't been able to go even with my 40's (weird but true).

[lilbuddy [OP]]

Theyre  not that bnad of road tire other then the wear... I cant afford new tires every 8 months with the amount i drive so I got a tire that will last 3 times as long if not more.

[skipnrocks]

what size rims are you runnin?   maybe someday in the future you could upgrade back up to a 40 that will work for both.  Your truck looked so awesome with 4ds!!
