Thinking about getting a set in 245/75/R16. Have looked online at tire stores and the shipping would kill me. Local stores are still expensive. Found I could get the MTR's in load range E (online) for $155.00 + free shipping from Walmart. May go this route. Maybe someone else could use this information. Aloha |

Check out your local off-road forums for MTR for sale. Check out Craigslist. |

why do the ones for 155 say "Sidewall Cosmetics: Blackwall, solid line" and the ones for 210 say "Sidewall Cosmetics: Outline Letters (other than Black)" does this mean the dont say Goodyear MTR on them?? maybe thats why they are so cheap. i couldnt find any other diff in the 2 |

One thing to note when buying tires from Walmart is that often times in store they will not sell you tires that are not the factory recommended size. 245/75/16 is of course larger than factory. I figure if you order the tires through their website and pick them up in the store you can probably get around this. Worst case you can't get them installed onsite

Yes there are tire companies that will not install tires which are different sizing than original. I am going to buy new wheels also, so I will take my wheels there and they will mount them. |

Holy Resurection, Batman! I just wanted to mention how I got my 245/75/r16 MT/R's: It took about a month, some patience, and some help from the fine folks at LOST, but I have pieced together 4 MT/R's that have 0 miles on them. They still have the nubbies in place on the tread. I have a 5th MT/R coming that measures 17/32 of tread left, so it is virtually new ( my spare). I also have a 6th MT/R that looks to have at least 1/2 tread left to use as a spare for my spare. All 6 tires will cost me less then 3 MT/R's at Walmart prices. Only you can decide if the time involved and the e-legwork involved is worth any savings to you. It took a lot of looking on Craigslist, some Ebay action, and checking the for sale sections on this & other boards. Obviously, this method will not work if you are in a hurry. But it seems that many Rubi owners upgrade and have either never rotated their spare onto the ground, or changed tires before they needed to rotate. Either way, at least 3 of my 4 good-as-new tires were spares off of Rubi's. I just wanted to throw this out there in case anyone else wanted to give it a try. I only went this way after I was unable to get a 5th Timberline M/T for a spare as they have been discontinued. I could have changed sizes & got 5 new tires, but their being discontinued worried me should I destroy one & need a replacement. Some sales fell in place, and I started making the MT/R's my quest. |

A friend of mine encountered that problem at costco with his Explorer. Btw, where in Hawaii do you live? |

I live on Maui. I ordered my tires through Wal Mart and they mounted them on my aftermarket wheels. Raining this morning (we need it). |

Cool, that's a steal for the tires, especially out there. I own property on Oahu. |
