ok...so i just happened to look at the thread on the rear of my dually and they are almost gone...does anyone have a good hook up or know the best place to get tires for a dually. i was thinking of doing the 19" OR the 22" conversion...so i want to price out tires to see what is cheaper.
thanks in advance for any help!!!!

You could do a search on TDR or DTR for 19 & 22 inch wheels and see what was posted. Someone always asks "How much?".
I'd get a quote from Sears, too. They can probably order what you want and they often have sales.

Chris, with your stock power, using 19.5s is gonna be a chore, also on your brakes as well, I would think twice before I ran somethin as heavy as those things, you also need the adapters as well, so when all is said and done your looking at an extra 70-100 lbs of rotating mass per rim, and with 3.55s its gonna be a dog:smilielol: , If your looking for just tires check out Tire savings.com, I have purchased from them and they are fast, also here is a deal for ya,http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/19-5-American-Eagle-Rickson-Dually-Wheel-Tire-Combo_W0QQitemZ320220571087QQcmdZViewItem?hash=ite m320220571087
Check out Rickson as well, they have some decent tires, and if you really wanna save some money you can go this route,

I recently bought new Nittos from discounttiredirect.com - free shipping and they arrived from OH to MA in under three days. The tires are good and the prices were pretty much the lowest I could find. Good luck.

There was a guy on TDR complaining about his Nittos. I don't know about what, I didn't look. I won't need tires for a while.
Just a FYI. :popcorn:

ok...STOCK POWER?..i do have a small edge box, 4" exhuast and an open air filter..so its not exactly stock:bigfinger: ..but i also heard you pick up mileage with those size tires..i could be wrong.
are there any tires that someone has heard that are better than others...or all they mostly all the same?

Yes, I read that thread... I don't know about that. He paid almost 1000 for his set, I paid like 400.00 something for E range. :smilielol: Since december I've put almost 4K on them and they look the same as new.:woohoo:
