The ancient and mismatched tires that the PO had on my FJ40 finally gave up last night. The sidewall of the passenger front split and pretty rapidly deflated while I was on Jackrabbit between Four Corners and Belgrade. I'd known the tires were on borrowed time, and the event was far less dramatic than I'd expected it to be.
Anyway, it's been a few years since I've had to buy any tires and I was hoping for some recommendations for a good tire shop in, around, or somewhat near Bozeman. Additionally, I need some tire recommendations too.
The last set of truck tires I was actually happy with were a set of BFGoodrich Rugged Terrain T/A. Those tires held up well to a lot of highway miles, had excellent snow and ice traction, didn't produce a lot of road noise, tracked straight on pavement, and help up well in the limited and mild trail driving I put them through. All in all, great tires for my use case. I'd love to have them on both my truck and my 40 (which both use the same tire size). Unfortunately, BFGoodrich doesn't seem to make the Rugged Terrain T/A in 31x10.5R15 anymore.
So please suggest your favorite local or local-ish tire shop. What tires would you recommend for a year-round daily driver that needs to be able to get to and from any hiking trail head within 100 miles of Bozeman every weekend?
