    I oicked up a set for 737.00/shipping www.onlinetires.com had the best price. They fit fine some cutting is ness.only because of the rims i have. so if the rims were the stock offset would be fine. I will let you know about the ride tomorrow night as it will be my maiden voyage with new tires and 912 springs. I would like to give thanks to mbeach for all his advice and help with all my questions. Thanks Man

    That's a great setup WiSDom -the picture's cute too.
    What size/offset of wheel did you end up going with?

    Oh, and how'd the truck dry out after your submersion?

    Back on topic,
    I assume that those 'Dune' tires will fit as well as the other Nittos, and will be of equally high quality. My own bias aside (nothing personal Wayne, my wife's from PA too), I suppose that the tread pattern will be alright for its intended use. If you squint hard enough, you can almost see a bit of Mickey Thompsom inspiration in the tread spacing. For you hardcore show goers and road guys, I'm sure that they'll get a lot of attention.

    For those drivers who, even occasionally, get off the pavement, I'll bet these tires pack up with mud in a second. If some Jeeper has to pull you out -you'll definately get flamed -twice.

    Thanks for the tip from online tires -even shipping UPS will be expensive though- remember where I live, milk costs $4 a gallon.

    EDIT:
    I just went to that onlinetires.com site. Boy am I steamed. They have great prices -even the shipping isn't bad. 4 Yokohama A/T IIs (265/75) shipped to Fairbanks Alaska for $64. I didn't see the Yokohama M/Ts on there though- it seems like the link is dead. I dunno if those Nittos are on there -if they are, I'm sure it'll be just as great of a price.

    None of the big tire places deliver up here.
    I don't think that I could persuade the wife to buy off on another set of tires in 2 months anyways...

    mbeach - Have you called TireRack? Sometimes getting those guys on the phone can work miracles. When I ordered my Yokohama M/T+'s from 'em they gave me a sweet deal on the shipping, which was especially great since the + version was just being released.

    As for road holding and noise, they're sticky as all get out and quieter than a set of BFG All Terrains. I couldn't believe how they held the Dragon to the asphalt on the flat track...

    From that photo, it looks like your driver side front wheel is actually grabbing soft shoulder... no wonder they gripped. you were really off roading!
