I'm driving my truck home (300 miles) Saturday and then towing my boat 600 miles then driving back up here (300 more miles) and my current tires have 50,000 miles on them. I need new tires before then or I'm not going to feel too good about my chances of getting it done safely.
Anyone know of somewhere that would have some decent 35's in stock? Anyone have some near new 35's they want to sell? 33's will do if it comes down to 33's or keeping my current tires on for the trip.

Go to Quality Tire in Christiansburg.
Jack will hook you up. He has really good prices. I got a nice set of AT's. They are called Primewell PA100's. I gota set of 285 75 16 for around 400 bucks. For the price I couldnt pass it up. I really dont know how they are going to last as I dont drive my F250 much but they seems pretty good. He can usually get whatever you need in 1-3 days.

Yea man, I did the same thing when I was shopping for tires. I have gotten 5 sets of tire from him. He actually knows what he is doing and will put all the weights on the inside if you want. He was one of the only shops I could find to balance 37's as well. What did you end up gettting?

Maxxis Buckshot MT's. Oughta look right good and hick with those things on there. Came in cheaper than everything except some tire I'd never heard of at S. Main Auto that I really didn't want to get from S. Main Auto since they seemed to charge quite a bit to actually get to the "out the door" price, plus I'd never heard of them.
Now to see if 35" tires fit on my truck.
Last time tires didn't fit on a truck of mine I just went and got my ear muffs off the gun safe and a 5lb sledge...1hr later they fit just fine. Same may have to occur in this case.

Not a DD. Goes on the beach, tows the boat and goes to races. Have 2 motorcycles, a Honda Accord and Ford Ranger (2wd) that all get DD duties.
