haha ive done that! i say it depends on your wear...if your fronts are worse then your rear..put the fronts on the rear and buy new fronts...lol

[fishntime]

Hey Ghetto DAd, I got the hookups. Call Perris Tire and wheel. They are down the street from the lake and to give you an idea I paid $670 for 4 tires installed and these are 22" tires.
These arent the cheap brands either.

With what money he saves on this deal will prob be spent in gas money to get there. It costs $10 just to turn the key on his truck.

Yeah , no doubt cappo.

Steve, you call to America's tire Co. ? They uselly have good deals . There is one in Westminster. Check it out .

As for getting the front or rear first, I recommend you get the fronts first . The reason is you steer with the front tires. My Dad always said that. Get the Front two first then the rear two next .

[fishntime]

Ok well I was just trying to help.

[RRTGuy]

honestly just keep an eye on Craigslist and Ebay for new F250 "take offs". This Is how I got new tires for both the Titan and Armada. Paid $475 for one set WITH RIMS. and $500 for the other set WITH RIMS.

One from ebay one from Craigslist.

Just a thought

[WARRIORMIKE]

Check out wal mart :Idea:

[Tr1p0d]

I remember when I had my F150.. Had it lifted and put 18s on.. Got a great deal on ebay for stock aluminum rims and BFG ATs.. You might want to check ebay.. I think I paid under $300 for the whole set up... I had to drive a bit but well worth it... That was like $1200 in tires alone... Anyway Good luck Bro...

[ghetto dad]

Im thinking maybe the rear, cuz im going camping next month...all the weight will be on the back...heck, I dont know

If you put the new tires on the front, you should do an alignment. Otherwise you could shorten the life of your new tires.

Why would you do an alignment when there is nothing wrong with the alignment?:Confused: If you lift your truck and get bigger tires then Yes, an alignment is called for. I think GD is just getting new tires.:Confused:

[Troutman65]

How about Costco ?

[JediMindTricks]

goto

Rent-A-Wheel.
leave with tires, or rims and tires.
rent to own deal.
if you cant make the payment, take them back, they will put them to the side for you.
when your ready to start paying again, theyll put them back on and continue the payment plan where it left off.


ive never done it, was thinking about it though when my truck needs tires. might pay a little more in the end, but....... gotta do what you gotta do i guess.

[cappo]

you can try pepboys also

[Troutman65]

GD , With those new tires your getting you should spend the extra money and get a major tune up. it will help you get better gas milage and better wear on your new tires.

GD, I bought a set from a Firestone in La Palma and received an instant rebate in the store.

[Troutman65]

And after you get the tires, alignment, tune up, I recommend you get a full detail on your paint. You know when you take the clay bar to the paint and then wax it? You will not believe how much your truck seems to go faster through the wind down the road, there for saving money on fuel & better wear on your new tires.

You should have your transmission serviced as you will get better tire wear .

GD: If you're trying to save a buck, I bet you could find slightly used tires for a steep discount on craiglist or places like that. Yeah, it's ghetto...but it pains me to see people forced to sell tuna gear at the beginning of tuna season! It's un-patriotic dammit!!!

...and btw Patrick, I've always been told it's best to get an alignment after a tire change. The way you drive, you should get an alignment weekly! :LOL::LOL::LOL:

Dear Crashman65,

Let's see....if you spend $600 to $1000 for tires, you wouldn't want to protect that investment with an alignment (maybe $60 to $90)? I'm just going by what mechanics tell me. Maybe I'm a sucker.

As far as your driving abilities are concerned.....puhlease!!!



Joking with you Pat65, have a good weekend!

Lets see, If you rotate your tires every 5,000 miles and they are not wearing funny, just normal wear, you don't need an alignment. You would just be wasting your money. If you wanted pice of mind and had the extra cash then go for it.

I am glad your just joking Rich. Because Evel Knievel don't have anything on me.:LOL:

Hope you have a nice weekend also Sansou

[Ronira]

Yo GD, go to Sams Club, anywhere from 120.00 to 165.00 a tire. All good tires too. The 165.00 tire are 265/75R16 Michelons. Ck them out on their site and I've got a card if you want to drive out to Corona.

hey GD how about checking out some of the places around you that sell used or retreaded tires. I'm thinking those would be alot cheaper. I know there's one place around me in Temple City but I think that might be too far of a drive for you.

I always buy used tires for my beater daily driver. i never pay more than 30-40 dollars a tire. usually they have name brands. just make sure you get a matching set wich they usualy do. you can be picky too. usually they give you a couple choices of tires. but anyways i work at an auto parts wholesaler and we have a couple good tire shop customers. ill ask around and see what i can find you if you still need them by monday.
