replacing tires

[JamesJet]

BJ's is the way to go - remember that tires have an expiration date as well. Good advice on alignment above, it can destroy a set of tires very quickly, however if you had even wear on all 4 it make have actually been the yokos. Good luck. I have BF all terrain on mine so I cant offer brand advice but I will say BJ's is definitely the best price I found.

Michelin's

You cannot get tires any cheaper than they can be bought at BJ's My own garage sent me there. I put Michelins on my ranger and they work great and are wearing well.

Jim, you sure got a host of replys. I have B.F.Goodrich Wilderness on my wife's Grand Cherokee, and they are holding up great. I had Coopers on my F150 and went to TOYO Open Country this fall. What I noticed was, I did not have to air down at WH with the Toyo's, I did not need to go into FWD to get out of my driveway in 2" snow and they are quiet. Handling is much improved and they seem to be very ROUND. Only one small wheel weight required on the same rims as the Coopers, compaired to three large weights.
Just food for thought. Good Luck.

Jim, try BJ's. I was there the other day and they are wicked cheap on EVERYTHING! They have alot of tires and I'm going there when my tires are gone.

This is like a line out of "My Cousin Vinny"
Quote "Most common tire used is the Michelin xgv 225 75 R15"

IM running GoodYear Wrangler RTS 225 60 R18 I have 48K on them and have some life to-em maybe 15K+ but if some of you are getting 70-90K there's somthing to be said for that.I guess I'll look into Michelin for my next set of tiers.

Go with Michelins. I got 85k miles out of the last set. Now I have Goodyear Wrangler RT/S 's on this truck and they SUCKKKKKKKK.
Even on damp roads they slide. They are horrible in the snow. Any snow and I got to 4x4 it. Big bucks and they have no traction. Lesson learned.
The only way to beat BJ's prices is maybe if you have a family member that is a cop or firefighter, then TownFair gives them a public servant discount.

Ya, ya, ya. With your money your wife should be driving an Escalade. She is being short-changed while her husband has a brandie new boat.

Aren't Coopers retreads?

Japenese or American brake parts. The poor woman..............................a mini-van.

I got Michelins at BJ'S (it's important to get the words in the right order) and you get free flat repairs and free tire rotation there.

When the wife goes back to working (has not worked since kids were born 13 years ago) she can go out and buy any vehicle she wants.

But till then she can shuttle the kids around to all their sports, band and school activities in her mini van, and maybe then I can cut back to working 1 full time job and spend more time on my "brandy new boat"

Definetely check the date stamp on the tire before purchase. I bought a set of BFG's for my Jeep from an online place, after about 12K they started to develop fine cracks around the rim...turns out I bought a tire that was popped out the mold in 04. Tires were $310 a piece, I was not a happy guy. To make matters worse, the online dealer wanted nothing to do with the warranty issue. I had to go directly to BFG, they did warranty them %100.

haven't been able to beat Bj's prices on tires anywhere

[tattoobob]

BJ's may have good prices on tires but I hate paying a membership fee to shop, it's like getting double teamed
