Mounting tires...

Manhattan · 08-10-2007, 12:56 PM

Still trying to decide what tires to get. Leaning toward the following...

- Goodyear MTR
- BFG MT KO
- Firestone Destination MT (SuperView of the Firestone Destination M/T )

Sam's Club has the MTRs (285/70/17) for $225/per. That's the best price I've seen. But they won't mount them - not a standard size.

I know a lot of shops won't mount/install tires/parts that they didn't sell. So, I may be looking for a shop that will do this... any suggestions?

I got the E rated (blackwal) Firestone Destination MT's & they're GREAT!!

Better traction in virtually all conditions than the other tires...slightly noisier than BFG TA's-But a GREAT ride...

I've got absolutely no complaints about my MTRs.

Where in ATL? I have several places that will mount tires no problem.

Kauffman tire will mount anything.

Did I just say that?

No, really, I took them some old beat up BFG A/t's and they had no problem mounting and balancing them.

My .02, I've heard some complaints while we were on trail (Dawsonville, Cullowhee, etc...) about the MTRs in red clay. I don't know much about the Firestones, but the BFGs seem to do well in this part of the country.
