Thanks man. I found the first 4 on craigslist and the spare on Ebay. I get tires at work. and the lugs from AB. Everything for under 5 bills.

And I kept my 16's with General Grabber AT2 for when the winter time. Are they a dedicated winter tire, nope. But they beat most all seasons and for the tread pattern, pretty quiet as well. And the price point. Cant Lose.

 

WOW under 5 bills? My 18's have brand new continental contact 4x4 tires, I'll store those in the garage for winter months. I've been trying to hunt down a set of those 19's locally and there isn't any availible also, where did you purchase your lug nuts? All the ones I see are almost $200 a set.

 

I got the wheels with 18 of the 23 required lugs.

And keep looking. It took me three months to find the set I got. Then it took another 6 weeks to fine the spare.
It'll take time. inspect the wheels when ou find them, make sure they dont have cracks, bends. The cleaner the better.

 

For sure, for sure. I just saw a set of OEM stormers on CL in the neighboring city but I honestly like the look of the 19s. I'll keep my eye out.

What brand tire did you end up using?

 

Send me the link for the stormers.
Continental 4X4 Contacts. 107H. Mercedes Spec if you look on tirerack.
Not great for wear, most people average 30k miles on a set.
But man do they handle and they have great sidewalls. Never really see anyone blow them out.

Might go to Continental DWS Extreme Contacts next.
As you can tell, I like Continentals. I like Michelins but I dont like how they wear. If you are not on top of your tire pressures, they wear funny. But they have some of the best sidewalls in the business. They will bubble, but I have rarely seen one blow out. Grip is really good on Michelins as well.

 

The stormers are too big. 22" but I agree, my current contact pros are phenomenal, never had a better handling tire than this and my previous tire was a BFG.
