Needing tires
I'm looking for a set of tires that are 10ply and
265-75-R16 I'm currently running Michelin and they have lasted 3 years. Looking for something about the same.
Every place I have called are 850.00 up to 1500.00.
I would like to have them before May 1st. Any ideas or does anyone like one tire over another. Suggestions
I also have the stock set of rims that would work also.
These will be going on my tow rig. 97 F250 XLT 8800gvw.

Re: Needing tires
Tirerack.com? Discounttire.com? I think you could at least narrow down a few choices for the type you are looking to run.
1973 Bronco, 351 SEFI, Locked, discs, 35's ZF-5spd and Atlas 4spd. 235:1 Crawl Ratio. It may be ugly, but it's slow.

I gave them both a shot but once again the price is outrageous. Might have to do some tire switching on the trucks
Best price I found was through Midas for $780. In stock

What load rating are 10-plys? I have E-rated tires on my F-250, I believe that same size. I spent $1000 dollars for the last set and I'm shopping again now.
I notice Sam's club was selling a similar sized BFG KO2, E-range for $178/tire The Midas deal might be as good as it gets. I buy tires every 4-5 years and it seems like the price goes up 10% each time, just like batteries.
Good luck
Cummins R2.8 diesel, ZF5, AtlasII, HP44/BB9, ARBs, coiled / linked suspension, 37" KO2s, full cage, bumpers, etc.

Re: Needing tires
I can install either Kumho or Yokohama 265s load range e (10 ply) for $730 total. I can install the BFG all terrain for $850. Same day. Other options available too. I don't stock tires but I pick them up so if you wanted to go through me let me know what you want and I'll pick them up before you come for install. Prices can change pretty quick so I can't guarantee this quote for long. I can get just about every tire out there so if there is something in particular you're looking for I'm happy to give you a quote.

Re: Needing tires
I also have the original rims that I believe the tire size is
235 75 16 Aluminum rims that came off when I bought it.
They are in good condition. Looking to sell them.
They are 8 lug and off a F250.

Re: Needing tires
Ended up talking to the discount tire man and they are going to warranty them out for me with not to much more cash needed.
I bought the set on it in 2013 and they only have 24,508 miles on them and had a 50,000 warranty. There giving me back $450 or credit towards another set. Goes in Tues or Wed
Switching to Bridgestone tires. I'll give them a shot.
We will see. Thanks Bronco brotherin
