Default Loking for tires

I already know there are threads on tires. They don't have the info I need. I'm looking for 31's for a 17 inch tire. I'm trying to find the best deals. But do far all I can find is $180 and up per tire. I'm hoping someone can point me to a better price for some tires. I'm looking for a good dual purpose tire, I plan on doing some wheeling soon, nothing serious just in the woods type stuff. Any help would be greatly appreciated

For the price I'll give them a try, do they not do free shipping?

I'm getting those with a 3' lift as soon as I get my refund!

So for about 600$ I can have them at my door. Would the c rated ones be good for me?

Yes. Dont be afraid of the retread part if you have any doubts. I've bought 3 sets. do some research online and try to find a bad review. I couldnt find one.

I couldn't either! What about that walnut shell stuff? Is it worth the 10$? And I meant the weight rating like c, d and e. I was just wondering if the c rating would be ok for me?
And also would a 265/70/17 fit with a 3 in lift?

C will be fine. They will fit but will need to trim fenders if you wheel.

Those will be fine with no wheeling. I forget how wide they are but if you're running stock backspaced rims they might rub on the lcas.
