Cheap 33's?

The cheapest 33R15(width doesnt matter)I can find is $150 Falken Wild Peak A/T. Who can find me something cheaper? Retread is fine, as long as the company has good reviews. Thanks, Bradley

Re: Cheap 33's?

Cheap, and 33s don't mix. I don't think you will find anything cheaper for new.

Re: Cheap 33's?

What series tire is that? Link? Dealer name? More info please?

I'm looking for a set of more street friendly tires for my truck than the 36" bias ply's on there now, and looking to keep it pretty cheap if possible. I've searched Uniroyal's site and can't find any tire they make in that size.

Re: Cheap 33's?

Put your size in the bottom right. http://www.onlinetires.com/tires/

Then on the next page click the third "drop box" and click lowest price first.

Re: Cheap 33's?

Used tires are the cheapest. When people lift trucks they sell their smaller tires cheap. I find 33s cheap all the time because guys buy unlifted trucks with 33s and want to lift them. I'm running Uniroyal 285/75-16s on my '92 K3500 and they are giving me excellent service. They've been on my heavy truck since '08 and still don't look 1/2 worn out. I can't recall the name but they are an A/T. Uniroyals is what came on my truck new,so it's kinda cool since I never modified it.

Hmm, good price on the tires, but they want $142 to ship them to me. That comes out to a little over $35 a tire. not bad when shipping a tire from Cali to Tx I suppose. But I'll have to keep that in mind when pricing tires locally. I'm gonna call them Tuesday and see if they have a distribution center in Dallas. maybe I can pick them up myself and get a killer deal on some decent street tires. Thanks for the link!

Re: Cheap 33's?

Discounttiresonline.com has similar prices (dont have the Uniroyal tires) and they give free shipping with the purchase of 4 tires......so keep that in mind. I looked at the Coopers at your link and they wanted $143 to ship to Oklahoma.

My mistake, I mistyped there. I meant to say discounttiresdirect.com, NOT discounttiresonline.com

Discounttiresdirect has great prices and free shipping. Last year when I bought my 35" Goodyear Dura-tracs for my Jeep, they were the cheapest around.

Re: Cheap 33's?

discounttiresdirect.com seems to no longer be a tire website at all. In fact, it looks to have been set up to try and steal personal info or help upload a virus of some sort.

Re: Cheap 33's?

That makes sense. You typed discounttireSdirect.com the first time. Discount Tire is a reputable shop, but add one extra "S" and it takes you to the wrong website.

Smile Re: Cheap 33's?

i just put the 33-12.50-15 falken's on my 77 blazer-$560.00 plus tax mounted and balanced. got them from a little "hole in the wall" shop i found on craigslist. i don't know how well they will wear but they ride really nice-80 mph on the freeway and no bounce whatsoever, yeah, i know i was speeding but wanted to see how they ride at higher speed. i called around and was told several times that 15s are going away like 16.5s-you can find them but you're gonna pay through the nose.

It MAY rub at the very bottom corner of the wheel opening, behind the tire. It's in an area that is not hardly noticeable if you have to trim some off.

Also, look into the Khumo (sp?) road venture AT. I used to have those on my Burb, they were cheap and also a VERY good tire. Mine were 31's though.
