Military Surplus Tires - Seattle Area

Hello all. I am working down in the Seattle area till next Tuesday and then another week at the end of the month. One thing I was considering doing, is to see if there are any of the 37x12.50R16.5 (either) BFG Baja T/A's or Goodyear MTR ex-HUMVEE Military Tires available for sale down here.

Do any of you members know of a vendor that is selling them?

Thank you in advance

Not sure of a vendor but there are a few guys who sell through Craigslist.

Hope you're enjoying your trip.

Thanks man. Found them at all the normal places (i.e. California, Texas, Arizona - way over priced, Kansas and Pennsylvania)

A lot of people have the 1st Gen Radials for sale, but I'd like to grab a set of the BFG Baja's or Goodyear MTR's.

The trip is going ok. The job is posing some interesting challenges, as well as traffic... Holy smokes, how do you guys do it down here. I guess I'd get use to it, but I come from where the biggest city in the state has one road in and one road out.

Here is a surplus site I have checked out. Put in the location, by state will lend more results. I haven't ordered from them, but have looked a couple times.

Yes, the traffic in most areas around here sucks.

I live in a much more rural area/small town and it's a breeze to get around if I'm not going to the city mid-afternoon.

Hey there. I'm currently running 35x12.5x15 MTR Kevlars. I do really like them.

Its really weird, in this area the traffic is terrible. Head south on I5 or east on 90 and the traffic starts to behave. People start to use the highway rules and passing lane rules. It makes traveling a breeze. Up here though, its a whole different story.
