Tires are 33x12.50 General Grabber MT.
Wheels are aluminum Mickey Thompson Signature Series 15x8.

I called Sawyer tire in Republic to ask if they were a General Tire dealer, since I was set on the red letter tires, and they told me $950 for the tires mounted and balanced. That was a pretty good price since I had found them online for $224 each+ about $100 shipping. Then I asked if they sold cheap steel wheels, and then he told me he had a set of wheels that some dude had bought for his jeep and didn't like the all black. So he sold me the set of 4 with center caps and lug nuts for $220. I looked online at those, and they were going for about $160 a wheel+ shipping. And they are a limited edition wheel. Only 640 of them made.

So out the door for $1175! Did the deal completely over the phone, and sending text pictures. Great guys to deal with.

I sure like the way those tires look. I bought my fire-stone destinations from Sawyer tire in Bolivar, they are pretty good guys to deal with.

New Jeep stuff... gotta love it. Glad you got a good deal.  The tread pattern kind of looks like Pitbulls from what I can tell in the pic. Hope they work out good for ya.

Yeah, this tread pattern is unlike anything else I have ever seen. That and the red letters is why I wanted them. They look very aggressive, but they are so much smoother and quieter than my BFG MTs ever were!

I never got to get them in the deep snow, but that few inches we got last week, they did great!!!

I am very happy with my tax return purchase!
