With TW, its better to just call them up. From order to arrival was only 5 working days. All tires match and look great!

I paid $20 a tire. Should be about the same for you as you are just a bit south of me.

Are all the tires usually the same tire? I mean like i seen one on craigslist that was on a bridgestone. Will all four of mine be re-treaded on alike tires?

A buddy of mine just put some on his ZJ, He loves them so far but not sure if he has hard core wheeled with them yet. He DD's with them 40 miles a day.

From what I understand they will try to get 4 alike carcasses... I think you may be able to choose as well, but it may delay the processes if they do not have enough of that carcass at that time.

I asked for Goodyear but got BFG AT's. Does not really make a difference to me, they are a C load range which is perfect for the Xj weight.

We have a 7 step process to ensure each tire meets our high standard of quality and safety:
We find “gently used” tires that have the highest grade. These used tires are inspected in 17 different areas before we accept them.
Once the tire is approved we buff the thin top layer of rubber from the tire.
Then a computerized machine wraps a continuous ribbon of new Full Grade Truck Rubber on the tire for the specific mold and tread design the tire will have.
We then computer balance each tire.
The tire is then "cured" and given a new tread design.
Once the tire has cooled we do a thorough inspection and testing of the tire to ensure it was made correctly and is safe for use.
Tires are then taped and shipped.
Thats from treadwrights site.
