More tire Q's: How 'bout the Pro Comp X terrains?

[Wildabeast60]

While I was surfing the 'net last night I ran across a sweet deal on these tires and all the Pro Comp tires. Buy 3, get one free! And free shipping! I figured for the $222 a piece, 4 35X12.5X15 for $666 was one sweet deal. Looks like a really nice tire, and I wouldn't even have considered them if not for the Buy 3, get one free and free shipping deal they are offering. Any personal experience? The offer ends Oct 31st.

Sorry no personal experience, but those are some sweeeet tires! I was looking at getting them for my 99 F250, and now possibly for my 60. They have had great reviews if i remember correctly. I would like to hear if anyone is running them on a 60/62 and what they think as well. Where did you see the deal?

That does sound like a really good deal. A friend of mine ran those, sorry no personal experience but he liked them and said they did a good job all around.

What? Give you the website? I don't want to give away my secrets!!! Just kidding, of course. Here it is: http://www.4wheelonline.com/tireswheels.html

They have pretty good deals on rims, too, and you might notice they say if you call, they can give you an even better deal. I don't know if they can do the ol' 3.5 backspacing, though. Looks like most of their advertised rims are all 4-4.5 backspacing. Good luck, looks pretty sweet. For that price, I'm almost willing to give them a try without any testimonials! Wonder if they mount and balance if you buy the rims, too?

4wheel parts has 15X8 black steelies w/2.5" BS. Usually in stock, around $40 ea. Haven't bought 'em yet, but thinking about it...

You got 17" wheels?

I bought a set of the x terrains. Used them once. Biggest POS tire I have ever seen. 500 M into the first trail 2 sidewall cuts. Good traction, rather loud will not last. I have never had any luck with any Pro Comp tire and the x terrain was especially bad. When you can get BFGs for about $175 a tire for 35x12.50x15 why buy pro crap?

A friend of mine has Pro Comp MT's and likes them. He said they are made by Cooper Tires.

I've had no experience with Pro comp.

Pro Comps

Looking to compare prices, I typed "pro comp prices" into google and came up with this:

Not looking too good for 4wpw... If the prices on their site are for each tire, then they have jacked up prices considerably, youre really not getting that good of a deal. I'lll stick with BFG, Bridgestone, or Yokohama, I think.

If you plan on any mud then dont do it. They turn into slicks in like 2 seconds, dont clean themselves and you will get stuck. a guy i know came over to my farm to try them out when he first got them and got stuck in the grass and turned it into a hug mud slide. had to pull him out with the back-hoe.
My 60 was running on blad a/t no namers and didnt have a problem

I can't comment on the Procomp tires, but I ordered a lift kit and set of BFG's from 4 Wheel And Parts earlier this year, and everything was delivered and on my driveway in 3 days.

Not yet!

Yes, but I couldn't help but notice that the guy who got stuck was in a Chebby.
Well, something fishy is going on with the company, cause I logged on to their website today and the tires were still buy 2, get 2 free, but the price per tire had risen about $120. Plus after reading the post above and the link to the Bad Business Bureau, I'm gonna steer clear of them, no matter what deals they have. I really wasn't ready to buy tires yet, anyway, but with a deal like that....
Thanks everyone for your comments/suggestions. That's why Cruiser people rule!

The deal on the tires is still the same just a different twist. If you do the math the totals come out the same due to the increased price on the buy 2 get 2 free.

bingo.


they do that s*** all the time.


RIP OFF.

Yeah, but the 1st time I saw them advertised as 4 for 2, they were still $281. It's still true what you said about the same price overall, but I'm sticking with the idea that the whole concept is shady. Like Dad always said, "Nothin' ain't worth nothin' when it's free."
