35" M/T Bajas for "High Step"-Any good? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

1969k10stepside · 09-23-2007, 02:37 PM

A few towns over someone has some 35" M/T Baja belted tires and 6 lug wagon wheels for sale.He wants $200 for 4 tires and rims.The tires look to have alot of tread left but I havent seen some new ones for reference.Do you think $200 is bad for all 4 and the wheels,even though they are wagon wheels? The only downside is that they aren't radials but High Step probably wont be on the road much...
Too bad I dont have 15x10 Rallys to put them on.I guess the wagon wheels will have to work for now

Although with the rally centers and a fresh coat of paint on the rims,they might not look so bad.
Here is project High Step for those who havent seen it before:

$200 for 4 wagon wheels ain`t bad.Are you going for looks?Why not mount on 8" rallyes you have?I don`t think for a mostly offroad truck that those would be a good tire.Indiana is a long way from Baja.I think Xterrains are a better tire in that class,also.The M/Ts seen to have a rounded balloon-like tread area that wouldn`t be kind on the road.The Xterrains lay alot flatter and I love mine.I bought them for a mild tread for mostly on road or beach.

Go for it, those are some good looking tires! That's a good price if it has at least 1/4 tread left. I had a set of those in 35x14.5 on a '85 Blazer a few years ago. They weren't the best in mud, but not too bad either. I did alot of gravel roads driving (120 miles a day) on them and never had any trouble. However, they liked to slide in gravel (but that could have had a little to do with their width). You had to throttle your way through a curve...if ever let off the gas felt like trying to drive a dirt sprint car....It was soo much fun!!!

I had a set on my blazer and like them alot on the street and sand mud I wasnt totaly impressed with. I think the 35 are around 250 new so it should be a good deal. Mudder has 36s on his truck and they look good.
