Bridgestone Jeep Service Tires

Not really, 70 series, but I thought I would get better help here than any other section... if it needs to be moved, I apologize.

anyway, I'm interested in the Bridgestone Jeep Service tires. I have read that they are exclusively a Japan-Market only tire...

Anyone know how to get them in NA? Any leads are appreciated... thanks!!!

they're new. I think Ens is still selling them for $50 each new, or as new as they can be from the ride off the train to their shop!

WOW! Hmm... shipping to LA, Ca., USA might be worth it, huh? Gotta check them out. Thanks!

How much are you selling them for, Dude? Will you ship?

Talk to Ens. I am sure they they will throw them on a pallet for you (you never know) but they might want you to take a full pallet

Whats so good about them except the price
Are they studs in the rubber?

They remind me of the Custom Hi-Milers I had on a mitsu Jeep many years ago

I've also been told no more Bias Ply "Jeep Service"

Also to note, they are very waaaaaavvvy on turns. I like radials better.

When they were $19USD mounted (not balanced) they were a deal (2003).

I can't get a hold of ENS. Anyone have another email to use? (other than the one on their site?) Or any other vendor? Thanks!

why not run the cooper discoverer S/T in 255/85 R16

The 7x16 jeep service tires are 8ply bias, heavy and hard as hockey pucks. I didn't get that many miles out of them.

They're gonna be strictly for off road use. The tires fit my needs... Also, the Deestone D503 is a tire I would look at if I can't find the Bridgestones
