for the locals to Bucks Co, PA... does anyone have any suggestions on where to get tires from? The tahoe needs a new set. I was looking at tirerack, but will that really get me the best deal?

Ahhh little more than that. Need to fund the Braptor?

Although by the time it gets here my First Edition might be only worth that!!!

I had OK4WD give me a quote for Coopers on the gwagen and it was right in line with the online prices.

I usually check tirerack.com and discounttiredirect.com for options and pricing. I do an internet search on the tire size to get the prices of the cheap imported tires. Then get a quote from a local shop.

There's always WalMart, but I try to give my business to local / family shops over the big chains.

First of all.... you need to stop coming down to my area! I was actually there a week ago getting rid of those piece of shit Nitto's on the wife's Jeep for a set of Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T's

Next thing you know @Rob1135ny and @Bronc-OH will be trying to move in

And I agree, they are competitive with pricing, and like you I prefer to give business to a local shop as opposed to ordering a complete set online and having it delivered.

yeah, I agree on the local shop thing. That's why I was asking if anyone local knew a spot. I don't really know any, besides the chains... Mavis, Pep Boys, Dealers, etc... but I guess in the end, they're considered local too, no? Local people work there...

I drive through VA all the time. Not by choice.
I'd be happy to never visit the state again...

I had American Tire in Flemington put oversized Coopers on my Porsche. Closer, but not that helpful.
I've never been to Mavis, but I'd probably start there.

Better be careful, @PowPow going to be thinking that OK4WD is located in Virginia He'll be all kinds of lost.

Mavis is ok, nothing great. They'll get you what you ask for. BJ's is pain in ass because they will only install OE sizes.

The thing that @PowPow should realize is the local 4x4 shops, like OK4WD will also give you their opinion what they think. Also depends on who you talk to, because I've had them tell me they have issues mounting Cooper tires... and they also said Nitto tires are great

Good thing is though @PowPow , they usually have the knowledge about if you need a lift, or a different offset in your wheel.

yeah, maybe my next set on the Bronco that'll make sense. But for the Tahoe, I'm just looking to replace. But I don't like the Continental OEM's it came with. We just hit 4yrs and I'm just about at 30k miles and the tread is already to replacement depth.

You could check https://www.autoexpresspa.com/shop-tires-auto-express.htm in Doylestown. They advertise a 'won't be beat' price. No idea what they charge for mounting/balancing which can be a huge factor in a tire purchase.

I've had Continentals on my Mustang before, but never a truck tire.

I will say, you can never go wrong with a set of BFG's. And I've always hated Goodyear tires in the past, but I have no issues with the ones that came with my Bronco. Good wet traction, and not noisy at all (well not in my opinion anyways). As I stated earlier, put Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T's on the wife's Jeep and so far so good with them.

I usually have a good idea of the exact tire I want before I talk to shops. Always looking for great performance, but usually end up with smaller market share brands. They are usually cheaper with better performance (personal criteria). e.g. Kumho performance tires for my 'Vette over the pricier Michelins or Yokohamas

I was looking at the Nitto Rigde Grappler. I loved the idea of a more aggressive all-terrain. They didn't carry the size I wanted at the time. I was also looking at the GY MTR, but heard they were terrible to balance. I checked out the GY DuraTrac. These seemed perfect; marketed as an all-around durable tire. But, the Cooper STMaxx had better off-road reputation for traction and puncture resistance. I really liked the Cooper AT3's I had. Great traction, comfort, handling, and wear. The STMaxx turned out great, as well.

On paper, the MT Baja Boss AT's look to be the best daily-driver, weekend-wheeler tire for the North East. Wish I could go Cooper STTPro (or Baja Boss MT), but the STTPro look dangerous on snowy, icy, tarmac. I know a few Jeep guys who switched from BFG muds to AT's because of how little traction they got in the cold rain with the muds.

I'm not a fan of the BFG AT tread design, but they seem to be the most popular for good reasons. Easy to recommend.
