Where to get tires?

Ok, I finally decided on what tires to get and I called discounttire.com to see about some 325/60/18's and they were 3 MONTHS BACKOERDERED!! YIKES! Anyone know anywhere else I could find a set? Or what is another good tire like that that I can get in that size or just a 33x12.5x18. Thanks, much appreciated!!

What tire were you buying? The Nitto Tera Grappler? The Toyo Open Country is almost identical. Pro Comp also has a new tire in that size that is getting good reviews. It the Xtreme AT.

I'm waiting on my tires to come in from Discount tire myself. I ordered Nitto Terra Grapplers 305-55-20's and MB Suv Bruzer's (all chrome). I ordered them on 6/27 and they had several mix-ups and no ships. I was assured that i would have them today, after they are overnighting the rims and picking up the tires from another vender today. We'll see!!! I put the 2 inch Autospring kit on over the weekend and took it into the dealer to have the Re-flash done to the computor and had them change the tire size at the same time. I also had them align it too. Now i am just waiting, waiting, waiting for them to come in.

Well, my rims still didn't come in. The mgr. at Dicount tire called and told me that they are stuck in Detroit until Monday! He apologized over and over about this mix up. I said it's time to discount the sale, and he said that was the least he could do. I will wait untill monday to see what happens...

Yeah, the waiting is the hardest part!!! Just one more day! I don't know what i will do tomorrow if they don't show up. He said he is going to discount them even more. They have lost alot of money overnighting the rims twice, and paying someone on there day off to drive to Detroit to pick up the tires. I'm trying to stay cool over this. The wait is tough but the discount, i hope will be worth the wait..

You can get 325-60R18's from 4wheelparts.com. They are available in Pro-Comp X-Terrains. I work for 4wheel parts and even us getting Toyos and Nittos is hard. There just arent any. If you can get them then your lucky, but what if you need a replacement?

The tires are here. The problem is the rims. I ordered 20 inch rims with 305-55-20's Nitto's and Bruzer rims with all chrome finish. They were shipped the chrome and Grey painted finish. I thought that the painted finish would chip and oxidize quickly, so i told them to get what i ordered.

The saga continues..... I get a call that everything is in so i go there to get the tires installed. He mounted all the tires and rims before i got there. He puts one on the truck, i get excited!, tries the second, it wont fit, then tries the 3rd & 4th they fit. They overnighted 4 rims and one of them was a GM bolt pattern. They were just lost for words. I couldn't even complain about it anymore. I told them to put the 3 on and mount another one with the wrong finish. I told them to call me when it's in. At least one side of my truck looks cool!!! Well i will update when i get it straightened out......
