Shuff, that's what I linked to in my above post.... did you notice the price?  that is like 1/2 off from every other place I have searched....

my Pro Comps had no road noise at all, am wondering how much you mean by "just a little"?

edit: the price of the
BF Goodrich Mud Terrain T/A KM2  37x12.50 17"

Manufacturer : BF Goodrich 
 
Size : 37x|12.5|17
 
Ply Rating : 8 Ply
 
Sidewall : RWL
 
Price: $-154.25 ea.


that's actually not a bad price for that tire dude.

did you check

www.tirerack.com?

they have pretty much anything you could want......and decent prices.

Heya Cap,
the Owner of the Store I linked to, told me his "webmaster" messed up and he would not honor that price  ( which was listed on his website )

 :furious :furious

I found the following online:
Kelly Safari's TSR  315/70/17  ( this is close in size/ht/wdth to the current 35x12.5 17" Pro Comps I have on my Truck )

for $174.00 each + shipping @ $26.71 per tire ( but I 'd still have to pay for mounting etc once that got here )

I am still looking....... right now I am open just to about anything in the All Terrain / Mud terrain / Extreme Terrain lines......

I am thinking of going to some Used auto Parts / Salvage yard places and seeing if I can find anything nearly new at a CHEAP price...

( I am limited on the income stuff )

I really hate to drop back to a lower Tire size, but just might have to this go around...... but will not go blow a 33x12.5 17" or a 295x70 R17"  size....

if I had the Luxury of choosing : it would be Pro Comp Xtremes or BF GoodRich KM2's ( followed closely in 3rd place by the BFG KO's )


edit: yep I have check tirerack and just about every other top 100 online wholesale tire places........
( my limited income comment means : NONE: I do not have any income since Sept of last year, and that was just for close to 30 days, I am awaiting my Disability to hopefully kick in )

my Truck is now my only vehicle I own these days, and being disabled isn't like I will be going places alot personally, the truck is sidelined waiting for me to get help with finishing the Brake overhaul on the drivers side, I done finished the FrontPassenger side new calipers/rotor/pads etc...and have the parts to do the Drivers side.......

last June of last year I installed a better differentialin the rearend and got rid of the "BROKE" open differential ..... and replaced all U-Joints thru out the entire Drive Train installing Beefier ones......

edit 2: if it wasn't for the dictatorship control of NC, I would not worry bout my current tires, but they will not pass inspection, so I can not get my tags renewed......... did not have that problem down in Florida........ the tires still have a little tread left but not enough according to the Inspection station.......

it sucks to have to ask to borrow a vehicle or ask for someone to give ou a ride anywhere....... ( even though I am not suppose to drive myself except only on limited basis........ right arm/shoulder hand  has nerve damage and goes dead , like hey man where did your arm go?  out of nowhere without any sign it is going to happen )......

sorry I am rambling.....
