Yeah I looked at them before I bought the Maxxis, I didn't see them anywhere below 500 either...Like to try the Mickey Thompson Mt this go round....hard to find under $500/
Radial is where I bought all my racing tires. He was a big supporter. Good guys and great prices.I have been using the same tire dealer for over 35 years. Radial Tire in Silver Spring. They are the single largest single store tire dealer in the country. Their prices beat Tire Rip Off sorrry Tire Rack out the door mounted on your vehicle or your wheels. My bro and I have spent well over $30K on tire and wheels there. Purchased 4 BFG Trail Terrains there back in November w/o issue and there out the door price beat anyone local by $100 and Tire Rack by $75 but then I get the wholesale price. Now they are always super busy. The line on Satuday mornings begins to form just before 8am. They open at 9am. Ask to speak to Paul the owner and tell them Dave Apker recommended them. Paul the owner is a former SCCA and IMSA racer and provides big time support ie dollars to local BMWCCA and PCA chapters. Since 1990 probably well over $100K to National Capitol Chapter of the BMWCCA in support. Radial Tire loves to support local car clubs. They can mount and balance anything out there.

Nice bit of dealin' there. Always surprises how combining discounts and even applying for a house CC can really save $$. Good job cuz above 37" they get expensive fast.So to circle back to this thread. Tires...Sigh... you can't get what you want and don't want what they have. Lead times I have been quoted from 2-12 weeks on US built tires.... first started looking for Mickey Thompson Baja Boss MTs.... hens teeth. Now tha the plan has changed somewhat I found BFG 39s thru Discount Tire. Ordered 5 for $2250.00 delivered with a 3-4 week lead. Since the new Axles will not be here for 8-9 weeks I am good with the lead time. The price.... mil discount and using their credit card that is pretty cheap for Big a$$ tires. $450ea delivered, was looking at $450 ea for BFG 37s and $500+ for MT.
After some wrangling with Disco Tire I have some Cooper STT coming in this week. 40x13.50R17s.Dirt Nerds and Mr. Tire in Sterling have 37” MT’s in stock.
@Fearless has a set and they worked awesome...could be the driver to...the combination is killerNot sure I've ever seen an STT that big before... but All the smaller ones I've seen seem to perform pretty well!
