tires
 

where is the best place to buy tires. i was looking at 285 procomps

look at Home Page @ NTW or Lift Kits, Leveling Kits, and Shock Absorbers - Suspension System Specialists! - Top Gun Customz

i have yet to hear any good thing about procomps other than the buy 3 get 1 free sale....

Procomps? My brother put a set on his '06, they lasted 13,000 miles. I'm pretty fond of Cooper tires, though I currently have Toyo M-T's. The toyos are holding up well- 17k on them now, and the tread is still in good shape. If you run mud terrains, get them siped. They'll last longer, and they're much better in the snow and rain.

what is sniped?

thanks guys. i was also looking at handhookers. what is a good all aroung tire that i will be able to get 40,000 miles out of.

Siping tires is essentially putting a series of slices across the tread. Most tire shops know of the procedure. It allows for cooler temperatures of the tire. I think the blade of the siping machine only cuts about 3/16". It isn't a good idea for rock-crawlers...they tend to rip up the tread more. My truck regularly pulls a 13000 lb. trailer-sometimes through snow and over icy roads, the traction is great, and the tires are wearing a lot slower than my non-siped tires did. Seeing as they gigged me for $1700 for a set of 35" Toyos, I'll do whatever I can to increase their longevity. As for the Hancook tires-They are made in China, I won't have anything on my rig that is made in China!:moon:

$1700:nshock::ouch:,for four tires or six

I'm real happy with my Dick Cepek Fun Country II's. I have 44k on them so far-should be good for another 10-15k. Great in rain and snow.
