Sweet! Kinda hard to beat a $40 tire in that size and like I said, most of them are like brand new, still have the mold marks and everythign on them.

Well, based on your previous calculation of $150 round trip. I get $77.50 per tire. That I think would be worht it. $180... no way. Unless you are also factoring cost of wheels

But is 10mpg highway all you get with that beast?

If you'v got the extra cash, but 2 sets. you never know when you might see a guy running aorund with his nice new lift and no tires. Offer them to him for $50/tire. He gets the set for $200 and you got one free.

yea ive thought about that. For some reason i thought it was like 300 round trip. As for actual mileage im not 100% positive, i know i dont get the best mileage, and i know having a heavy foot doesnt help that at all. I just guestimated 10mpg's I know it will be better, but i would rather have to much gas than not enough.

Yea i figured wheels in to that to, but at about 50 dollars per wheel. comes out to 127.50 a tire, much better. As for the second set, thats a good idea! as many mall crawlers i see runnin around here i might find somebody intrested in some "real" tires!

Another thing to factor is that the wheels are a 1 time purchase. you will spend a little more now but after you've put some miles on those tires, maybe you'll want get some new ones. Then it'll be $40/tire and not $200 for pretty much anyhting in a 36" with any kind of agressiveness to it.
