Default PepBoy Tires and "What" Shocks Questions

First off I need to get Tires for my Brandie but right now I can't afford the Tire and Rims for her that I want (SRT-10 tire wheel combo). So checking out PepBoys they have the "Buy-3 get a 4th free" deal going on right now and I'm looking at the DEFINITY DAKOTA A/T 265/70-17, it looks like a BFG All-Terrain tread pattern. With a 50,000 mile warranty on them for around $375.00 + for 4. Has anyone used these and how did they hold up? This seems like a good deal and just wanted some info on them.


Second I need new shocks too thats why I can't get my SRT-10 tire wheel combo yet. What is a good performance shock that won't break the bank either?

Thanks H-

I've read some reviews on the definity tire. Mostly the MT not the AT but from what I've read they all really liked the tire. It's made by Cooper and also from what I've read it's a quiet tire and for the price, you really can't beat that.

As far as shocks check out Bilstein, Monroe or even Rancho. You may check out shockwarehouse.com also and see if they can get you some good deals. I think they're a sponsor on here and you may get a discount.

Thanks guys, man I must be getting old or the "Sometimers has kicked in. I guess I had asked this question about 2-3 months ago about the Dakota's. Then got too involved with my retirement paperwork the Army was messing up with to remember about it. (I'll be out on leave 21 May, TOTALLY retired on 01 Sep 2010.) I found it under a search, and had good responses to the Dakota A/T's. Thanks for the Shocks info though. I'll be joining the 287 club soon too, H-
