New Shoes

The tires and wheels came together for $500 off craigslist. Tires had some issues. One was cupped, 2 had nails, and they needed balanced. The good people at Americas Tire Co (Discount Tire) took care of me. Free tire inspection, free flat tire repair, free air fill, and free balance. Also needed new lug nuts. Paid $50 for the non locking ones and was upgraded to locking lug nuts for free. No problems since and overall am happy.

I will say that I would not buy these tires off the rack brand new for full price. But for what I paid, what they are, and other factors, they will do just fine.

Tires:
Brand: Dunlop Radial
Model: Mud Rover
Size: 315/75/16

Opinions: They hum. No one asked a MT tire to be quiet, and they took advantage of that. Tread looks good, but reviews dont bode well for them.

Wheels:
Brand: Ultra Wheel
Model: 164 Polished
Size: 16x10

Opinions: I like them. The wheels are pretty much why I bought the set. I wanted these wheels in a 17" but when I saw these pop up I had to grab them.
