PEAK PUTTERS

I'm getting close to moving up another tire size on the Jeep. Where's a good place to get some Goodyear MTR's?

Try Big-O. They're a corporate store now, but could work. Don't know if Wingfoot does much or not other that trucks...

Didn't see them on the list but might call and see what kind of deal he can make.

Just call around and see who will give you the best deal.

i bought my 37x12.5 MTRs from this guy and it was a good deal and he came through with out and problems.
he also got them to moses lake with out charge.
$865 i thought was a good deal for 4 37s

So far I've seen $840 shipped to me for 4 35x12.50x15 the new style Goodyear MTR's. Doesn't seem too bad except that I have to get them mounted and balanced on my own. Gonna check locally though.


Edit: I'm not registered on that forum withe the guy who's selling tires so I can't see the post.

Stop by wallymart on the way home and pickup some airsoft pellets. Then when home pull the spoons out, add 8 ounces of airsoft pellets and a thick layer of paint on the rim beads.

The airsoft pellets will balance the tires (BBs will rust) and the paint is a poor mans beadlock.

I bought my 35 goodyear mtr's at Steve's tire factory on clearwater. I believe I paid around 900.00 after everything. they treated me well to.

Auburn Car Repair had some good deals going awhile ago. 37/12.50/15's were $225 a tire.

Well I've called around on the Goodyear MTR's w/Kevlar in the 35x12.50x15 size for 4 tires:

Steve's Tire Factory wants 1375 installed for 4 tires. wow

Discount Tire wants 1058 installed

Discount tire direct (online) wants $840 shipped to my house but I have to get them mounted and balanced myself.

Tri Cities Battery can't get them

Big-O can't get them either

I sent an message to Aventeone at Auburn Car Repair about some 35's- Those 37's were on clearance and are still available from what I read as of Aug 15th.

Give COSTCO a call. They have a great return/replacement policy. Depending on wheel size they may not mount and balance for legal reasons.

I finally put a hole in the sidewall of my MTR's the other week. Thats after about three years of serious abuse at low pressures. Glad I picked up a spare this spring.

Holy crap!!! That is some serious abuse to put a hole in a MT/R.

I am surprised how many dudes complain about MTR weak sidewalls. They must really be hard on tires. I guess a guy needs to figures out if he is a rock garden or trail guy.

I managed to put a hole in the side wall on my brand new 37 mtr on a snow run. Still not sure how I did it.

The new style MTR's are reinforced with Kevlar on the sidewalls. Its supposed to be stronger than steel.

Yeah, but don't they look funny?

I really like the look of the new mtr's, To bad they don't make a 37 in a 15 inch wheel anymore.

I hated em' when I first saw a picture, but they look waaaay better mounted up in person.

personaly i dont care what a tire looks like its all about the price and performance

Got an email back from Discount Tire in Pasco.

$223 a tire mounted and lifetime balance.


I think thats pretty good. They probably won't have them in but if they do I'll be wheeling on 35's this weekend.

Edit: Just bought them. I'll pick them up next week.
