Now at this point, I'm just adding stuff to her to keep me occupied.

I don't know if I posted it...

When I was looking around for tires, I went to all the local shops. After talking about tires with the guy at 4Wheel Parts, I made my decision. I happen to be looking for some stuff on eBay and notice an American Tire ad. They had some special deal with eBay, if you buy the tires though eBay you get a $100 cash card. I called their Discount Tire online store for more info, instead the sales guy gave me a fat deal! The fifth tire was literally free (in cost) with lifetime replacement!

Agreed, though I'm more interested in what size these are...look great though - better beat the crap out of them and post how they do!

The reason I was sounding ominous about 7 years is I had a 65-mph blowout with a 7-year-old Cooper tire that had only 10k miles on it. Fortunately it was on the rear axle and I didn't roll. It sure did toss me around though and remind me all about my short wheelbase and high center of gravity. I don't know the tire's history, perhaps the previous owner took your advice...

No it was not the same model, but it was a 265/75 load range D. Manufactured by Cooper for Big O tire, according to the Big O rep. I promptly sold the other three to someone I knew would put them on a farm truck and not drive fast.

Then I bought the 235/85s I had always wanted.

Default Tires, Tres, Tires

When I first bought my Bridgestones, I was actually trying to find the BFG TA K/O's. I had seen them at SAM's but not in the size I needed. They claimed they could not get them in 235/70's or even close to that.

I called around and Sears claimed they had them in stock. It was Veteran's Day Weekend and I went up there to buy the TA KO's. After they had mine up on the lift and all four wheels off, they claimed they looked all thru the racks and no TA KO's to be found. They ended up selling me the Bridgestone Dueler APT's. Decent tire but not what I was after.

Those SST's look good, here's a webpage from Cooper's website:
