Going to need a set in the near future so I have been slowly checking local options. Even though I used to sell them for a short time, I still hate the dealings.

Has anyone run the DEFINITY DAKOTA made by Cooper, sold by PEP Boys? $138 each plus mount and balance....then send in rebate and get $138 back...for am 31/11.50/15 A/T. Everything else is at least $150+ more.

Our Bronco is our rainy day vehicle as the '11 Mustang GT/CS does not go down the red clay when raining. We don't do any off roading anymore....just love the Bronco. Current tire is a 30x9.50/15 A/T wimpy tire. Would like 33's but the issues with gearing and power is hardly worth it even though the 5.0 runs great.

 

Im getting ready to try the Adventuro m/t's next week...but I can attest to the perfomance of the GT Radial adventuro A/T 2's...great tire never once left me stuck...low road noise...great tread life...all around awesome tire....even better price!!

 

Hmmm...will inquire if anyone sells them locally. Thanks.

 

If you have a Discount tire anywhere nearby i would also check with them. They do price matching even if the place is online like tire rack. Though my tires are definitely not what you want, i think my MTR Kevlars were a great deal and they made a HUGE difference in the ride. At 35 x 12.5 x 15R they were around $201 per tire with a $16 lifetime balance and $1 removal fee of the old tires. On tire rack these are $220 per tire. Not including shipping and mounting.

 

No discount for miles around here....

 

Ah well that kind of sucks I guess.

 

Yep.....used to shop them all the time in Az.....closest one here is 2+ hour drive.

 

Discount tire will ship the tires to you free of charge. Just have to find a local shop to mouont and balance.

I hate looking for tires, because tires are very $$$. My last set I put on the 2010 were ~$930. Dang 10" wide rear wheels.....

 

Problem with the shipping is dealing with any replacements/damages it a pain. That is why I try to avoid tire rack also. Some shops around here will come real close to matching the on line deals but they also charge a good amount to mount those bought online. Having worked in a fairly large tire sales shop in the past, I can relate to the issues of bringing in on line purchases to get mounted.

 

$930 haha mine were $954 after tax and mount/balance. but I think mine are bigger

anyways good luck Pete hopefully you can find a good deal.
