Hi all....

It's been so long since I've been here I feel like a NewB!!

After about 24,000 miles, my (original!) front tires are finally worn to the point of needing to be replaced. Whose got the best deal on these? I am thinking of just buying one and using the one in the truck and rotating one of my existing front tires to the spare. Yeah, I know the spare wheel is not polished and I'll have the garage guy swap them around.

For those of you who remember my son, he is now 6½ and says to say hi to everyone!!

you cant use the one in the trunk, have you looked at it? sure it may be a 18'' but it's only like 5'' wide, BFG should still make the 235 g force's and there pretty cheap. you have a nice car, dont chap out on the rubber!

Hey Rick!!
I've got my Marauder on pause waiting for your miles to catch up :D
Can't help you on tires----haven't bought any in a while myself. Take good care of Jett's car, it won't be long and you'll be tossing him the keys.

I personally just got a set of four, front and back, of the OEM BF Goodrich from The Tire Rack for just under $600 shipped directly to my tire mounter. I have seen several members on this forum post their "dislike" of the OEM tires but I personally have never had a problem with them on the two Marauders I have owned over the years. I usually get around 25,000 miles out of a set, but then again, I try to take very good care of them, i.e. correct pressure, don't hit curbs, no burnouts, etc.

Welcome home, hang around awhile! Some of the old gang are gone, but some of us are still here. I still have a few of the get out of jail free cards and note pads.

As for tires, last time I got them for the wife's car I got them at Discount Tire. Been awhile though. I'm using Nittos on my car now. Try to get them somewhere that offers Road Force balancing.
