Default Cheap Tires?

Were can i find some cheap all-terrain tires (doesnt have to be BFG's or anything like that). Would like if they were 31's or 32's also. And can anyone convert this into standard? 265 75 15

if you do like the BFG AT's you should look for the General Grabber AT2's. they are indentical tread pattern, can't even tell the difference and are like 20-30 dollars cheaper a tire.

If you want a good tire...

I got Dakota M/T's from Pep Boys. Its there store brand but made by Cooper. Ran me $110 a piece but you can use their "Buy 3 get 1 free" on them.

Got pics if you want to see them.

I have the grabbers on my CJ... They become really slick in snow and mud. I have found they get packed quickly and clear.

Just my 2 cents...

My only question is what the side wall on the Dakota M/T? I wouldn't mind running a cheap M/T but I want at least a 3 ply and most cheap mud tires are only 2.

Be careful!! When it comes to tires, you "really" get what you pay for, ask me how I know this!! I know it's tempting to save a few pennies, but I would suggest you try to find another area to save money. Your tires are all that connect you to the ground. If you don't do "hard" wheeling you prolly be OK, but if you wheel it hard, escpecially rocks, you need good tires and they aren't cheap. Just my $.02 worth, hope it helps!!

I have come to the decision unless gas prices change I won't be doing much out of town wheeling..Therefore when I buy my new 31's I think some good AT's will be what I end up with/...Just can't justify the gas usage and money usage on MT's till I can afford to make the trips for some wheeling..So my next tires will be some General Grabber AT2's..
