Re: quick tire help needed!!!!!
Greetings,
I'm sort of going through the same thing myself. I really don't NEED new tires but I'd LIKE new tires.
Local tire shop (which has pretty competative prices) quoted me $250/tire + tax for BFG 245/70 R16. Out of curiosity looked up same tire from tire rack in the US. With exchange and 13% tax, will cost $203. Like $200 difference for 4! If I stay down for +48 hours and go with another person, we can each claim 2 tires under exemption and save about $400......go figure. You had best check out these figures for yourself, the memory dims.

with the reviews I have been reading on some tire sites I'm going to roll with the Firestones.They have a 80,000km warranty. $180.00 installed balanced with valve stem!
thanks all for the input! I'll toss them through the mud and let you know how I make out!
cheers!

Re: quick tire help needed!!!!!
black wall or letters out???
Tires are being installed tomorrow as somthing came up today! What do most of you have? I have always ran with black wall out but some rides just look good with the white letters out. What does everyone prefer? General Grabbers AT go on tomorrow.
cheers

I always run the black sidewalls out but then I've got a completely black Jeep. Don't want any tacky white lettering marring the perfection that is Jeep. :)

Bridgestone Dueler A/T Revo 2's
You would 
only reason to run the black letters out is because If you wear down the sidewalls on rocks... and now a few of your white letters are twice the size and just look ugly
