Not to spoil the surprise but, I got you tires for your birthday. Hopefully they don't get held up at the border...

You’re my new best friend.

Alot of the new Wranglers are 17". That is what I put on my LJ (245/75-17 is about 31.5") I paid $200 for a set of 5. Darn near brand new. Tons for sale in my area, maybe. Maybe not so much in other area though, Philly suburbs so lots of people (with Jeeps).

Yeah, but I'm picky on tires... thought about a couple of deals, but they came with wheels that I'd have to dismount and unload, just more trouble than I was interested in.

I just ordered 5. $1650 to the door. I have almost free mounting and balance. Price of lunch. Can’t wait till someone buys them for me.

Yeah, that...

Reminds me, I haven't checked marketplace yet today.

I looked for a while. Almost never anything in 15”.

Oh lord, yeah, that's a dead tire size anymore.

What do you mean "NEW"???

Lucky enough the tire manufacturers are supporting the variety offered now. Told my wife this was going to be the last set, Hell it probably will be

Ive had pretty good luck with prioritytire.com. Speaking of dead tire sizes 32x11.5x15 are harder to find but I got them there. Also some 31s for my new project. Two different Comforser brand tires. Inexpensive and have worked well enough for me to try a srcond set. Pic of set 1 directional tires.

 

[PetesCj-8]

Some less aggressive 31s. Still not bad for an all terrain tire

 

[bigwalton]

I don't need any crazy size tire, lots to choose from.

I'm just cheap and picky. Difficult combo.

Frugal and a connoisseur.

Me too. The 31s were $600 delivered to my door , or you can have them delivered to a local shop for mounting and balancing

Got a set of Rocky Mountain ATs (Discount Tire house brand I think) in 265/75/16 on my Birddog wheels. Trimmed the front for DD duty, will need to get bump stops in (have none currently) and work on flexing.
