Bob's is closed on Sunday

You might also check TireRack.com at http://www.tirerack.com/tires/Sizes.jsp?ma...errain+T%2FA+KO

I found Bob's competitive with Tire Rack for my Goodyear street tires on my car, considering his price included shipping, tax, mounting and balancing.
It looks like you should be able to get a set around $600

well, i went over to tehama tire today and he quoted me some prices. it looks like im going to go with some 285/75r16's. that comes out to a 33-11.50. im still debating on which tires to go with. its narrowed down to the bfg t/a ko's at $224 each or the hercules terra trac's at $187 each. i have heard nothing but good about the bfg's. battman has had some on his bronco for 2 years and they still look like new

You'll be fine with those, even if you air them down. You'd really have to ream them on a rock to cause a problem.
