Default Good deal?

Hey guys, I said it before that I was looking at getting tires and wheels for my truck awhile back but had some other issues to fix in my house. So I ran across these, think its a decent deal? Are the claw tires a good tire.

I'm wanting to find a wheel tire combo cause im tired of my ugly *** wheels I have now.

Don't know if you have ever been to tirerack.com before but you can see what wheels will look like on your truck. Sorry can't help with the tire question

I've got a JC Whitney catalog from 1997 and you could buy that same combo for $600. HeyYou will later post with his price from 1979.

I dont know how JC Whitney is still in business. The 1997 catalog is the same as the 2010 catalog! Tacky 1990s truck crap like side skirts and orange grilles.

I'm sure you can find a better price than that. JC whitney is usually overpriced. And I would go with a 9" wide rim. Those are 8".

Ya, I think you could do a lot better, escpecially since that rim design has been around for awhile now. Are you sure you want to run Baja Claws? Is your truck a daily driver?

Thanks guys. I am not really set on the Baja claws, I would like to have a medium aggressive tire but nothing that is going to shake my truck loose lol. I have never purchaced anything from jc Whitney I just typed tire combo on Google and that's what I came up with. I do like the eagle alloy wheels tho. So ill keep searching and when I find something else I will post a link. Thanks again guys
