If you're ever out by Frederick, the guy who did mine charged me $70 for 4 tires.

why did you tell them lol? That's dumb though...

Merchants is pretty good and cheap. $11.25 for mount and balance and like $4 for disposal and valve stems

Just called the local merchants, $24 per. I only mentioned it cause the guy was wondering what was with the "special" balancing instructions they send. I didn't think it was an issue till one of the tire monkeys broke out "its illegal in maryland to have retread tires on any passenger vehicle".

I've been diggin through the maryland vehicle code, as far as I've found, as long as they meet DOT standards and have their stamp they're legal.

I called my buddy who bought my 235 bfg's. He's gonna check with the tire guy at his work and see if he can do em for me.

The biggest issue I face is telling them they can't use a lift on my jeep as my front brake lines are still stock and would snap if the axle is allowed to droop. Maybe I can bribe him into helping do the brake hoses at the same time as the tires.

$325 Five (5) Ravines painted black. These are stock LJ wheels, 15x8, and they do fit XJs. They come with fairly new tires. A set of those wheels is usually $500 without tires. Again, I am NOT the seller. Just passing on deals.

Need help. The idiot that fixed my exhaust lost one of the nuts that attaches the cross member to the frame under the T-case. Anyone know what size nuts they are? I thought 3/8 but that won't thread.
