Who has the hookup with tires? I am going to order mine finally once my tax return comes back. I know I can get the club discount at Quadratec, but there is still shipping and mounting costs. Let me know if you have any ideas.

You sure about a club discount on tires?  According to Jeff Knutter, we don't receive any discount on wheels.  So this leads me to wonder about tires?

Don't know about tires but there is NO discount for Rims from Quadratec.  Been there done that!   Now I'm not liking my DC2's – A new guy started here at work Monday he also has a TJ with the same rims….  I'm seeing them everywhere I look!  Thinking about starting the  search for a 5th Eagle Alloy again and switching back – I might have some DC2's for sale soon.

Speaking of new tires…  Today I went to Discount Tire for Falken Wildpeak AT's (245/75R/16) which I am going to utilize on my Moabs for DD use and they told me their 'Road Hazard Warranty' on AT's & MT's covers off-roading too.  He laughed and said if a sharp rock or branch cuts a tire, I'm covered.  I've been buying from them for years and never knew this.

 

For the record, I am also going to buy my KM2's (15") from them too.

one less set here now… traded Tobi at the m&g for his pro comps…. well after 4 extensions, 2 sockets, a reducer, blowing my impact, and grinding my 4 way lug down to fit in to get them off.

I can attest to the road Hazard at Discount, they covered a side wall gash I had and replaced the tire with no questions asked.  The manager told me you could bring it in with a branch sticking out and they will take care of it.  You do have to but another replacement cert if you want to have that tire elligible for replacement.  You can also buy the same coverage from them on tires not purchawsed at Discount new or used, they just need to inspect them.  I think its a great deal!
