Hi ;)

I would like you guys to list here who and where supplies you with your parts...do you order stuff from the states?....

I have inquired about 35x14.50.15 SSR's and have been told $435.00 plus $25.00 handling fee...plus 15% tax ...that equals $529.00 PER TIRE!!! :evil: plus having them mounted/balanced!!!! HOLY CHRIST!! that is friggin REDICULOUS! :flipoff: ... I see them for $211 back home and the exchange rate just doesn't even it out

So, with that vented and out of the way, I would like to know where the good reputable offroad suppliers are in Canada...please let me know

thanks :cheers:

and they are 35's!! ... insanity...that's why it is costing me so much to do the damn truck...and so long

I could have bought one jacked up and ready to rock for less than I have invested in this damn thing....I was anticipating prices I knew back in Colorado...I could have had it lifted painted, rebuilt engine and then some for what I have spent so far....and the damn lift isn't even in yet ... I have had it in my storage for 5 months :cry:

Damager... if I were you I'd be planning a trip states-side before coughing up that kinda $$$ on tires!

Look in the local classified papers!!!! I got 4 36x14.5x15 swamper radials with 60-70% tread left on 15x10 8 bolt wagon wheels for $500! (1 has a little bit of camber ware but no biggy). I sold the wheels for $150, so thats $350 CDN for 4 36x14.5x15 swampers!!! The guy I baught them from said $750 firm but I waved $500 in cold hard cash in his face and he couldn't resist. If you want to see pics check my superford site.

Do yourself a favour and just keep checking the classifieds. I checked them for 3 weeks and found thes ones.

I think you're also paying a brokerage fee. Find someone with an addy just south of the border.

Damager

I have one, but with the way the border is nowadays, they check everything....would be tough to justify some bigass swampers in the backseat ;)

Find some smaller 235-size tires for your Bronco. Have teh set of wheels you want to use, in the back of the Bronco....head state side, buy the tires and have them mounted. Throw the smaller tires in the back, or leave them with the tire shop.....drive home on your new tires


They'll never know

yeah thats what i thought drive dwon with crappy small tires come back with nice meats but spend an hour and pull some of the fingers off the tires so they don't look brand new or else go offroadin with them :mrgreen:


im thinking about this too

(when you come back go through another way thouth, like another border crossing if you can)

yep I hear that... it makes sense

just not sure if my gas milage would afford me to the trip :mrgreen: ..... I can put the stock rims and tires back on for that .. but, I just wanna buy the fat ones for the rear .. I only want two 35x15.50x15's for the rear and keep my 35x12.50's for the front :roll:

my thinking is it will fill up the gap from the damn Bushwackers and will allow a little bit less stress on the front if the rear bites better...I am trying to save the TTB for now and get away from the flares looking the the dreaded "dress"

ugh, I just don't know :???:
