yep got quoted $300/tyre fitted and balanced for 285/75/16 a 2 weeks before the promo, now the cheapest they can do is $345/tyre + fitting and balancing. The highest I got was $389/tyre

So much for 1 free tyre and I was chasing 6 and still couldnt do a better price

My bro in law got them same price as normal, even with the sale on, so a good saving to be had.
Although the guy was not impressed about giving him the deal, and left a wheel nut off the front left wheel.

O'Neills tyres state on thier site that 4WD tyres are excluded, but Goodyear say they are included in the promo... I wonder who is pocketing the money for the free one

[tj81]

friend of mine just got quoted $349 per tyre !!! ( May as well get 36, 13.5, 15 Swampers for $375)

so he then showed them an invoice for another member of the club who bought wranglers at $240 odd per tyre, and promptly got a generous discount....

dont let them screw you around !! lying %$)^.....

Of course the tyre places are not going to give you a great price per tyre but I got 4 285/75/16 MTRs for what worked out at $255 each when you spread the price over 4. Thats $30 cheaper than I was able to get them 3 years ago, so in my opinion still a good deal.

[tj81]

$255 per tyre is about what i would call "normal"

These turkeys charging up to $380 per tyre are just kidding themselves.

I understand that if you buy them at say $340 per tyre, and get one free, your pretty much paying the same price as you would for the four of them at $255 a tyre normal price.

There is no "special" here, its a con.

Id suggest paying no more than $800-900 for the four, or else your simply not getting any advantage of the "free" tyre

for a 285, I'd call that price unbelieveable for an MTR - maybe for a WowwowQuack crap tire. around 9-10mths ago, I paid $260 which nobody believed or could match, since that there were 2 price rises..

for a 33x12, it would possibly achieveable.

I may have over exadureated !!

But you get the picture...

285/75R16 MTR cost more than $255, you are dreaming if you can get em that cheap.

I'd rather use my 15" wheels offroad, than 16"

35x13.5x15 Maxxis m8080.. yeah phuxor!!!

If you want Maxxis, get prices from Bob Jane T marts. They have great prices on Maxxis at the moment. 35" Mudzillers for $270, 35" Creepy's $345. Bring your own wheels as they are cheaper elsewhere.

Also 35x13.50x15 Maxxis mudzillas $260 each
