buncha city boys workin at your oreillys huh?

everyone that works at the one I go to is all a buncha rednecks with big *** trucks/suvs.

They are pretty helpful too, and they will tell you straight up if they cant get a part, and suggest napa if they can't get it.

This is my second set of them and I really like them.. Only problem i got is the front tires are cupped which is my fault for not fixing my front end. Other than that I will probably end up getting another set of them if I dont decide to lift the truck...

Firestone sucks giant donkey *****, and I hated them long before the Ford Explorer tire fiasco.

I like my copper stampede AT's that I have now. Would have lasted longer if I would not have let that bad tie rod end eat the inside on the fronts. I would like to get the BFG's AT KOs but at 1,000 for a set, the wife would hurt me... Lol

I think I paid like 152 a piece for mine.. If I end up lifting the truck I'm gonna go with the Cooper Discover STT.. Another good tire there but they are pretty aggresive for a mainly street driven truck

Sweet, thanks for info. My truck is my DD and mostly a street queen but I'd like to put cheaper aggressive looking tires on it.

For a name brand tire with great reviews and reputation (50,000 mile treadwear warranty, people get over 60 out of them) that price was worth it to me. They handle great as well. However I almost got Coopers, and looking back I wish I had, since they are made in the USA.
