Default MCTs for $70

OnlineTires was down for a while is back up again. I ordered 5 of these 235/70/16 for $70 ea and $70 shipping (from LA to Seattle). He said the shipping was on the higher side because the tires were heavier than most.

Compared to $107 from TireRack and $115 from Costco (130+Tax-installation-discount), this is a very good deal!

I have 4 Goodyear Integrity's with about 40-50% tread left. Any suggestions on what to do with those?

Here's a few suggestions:

• Arrange them creatively and sell them as free-form sculpture.

• Shrinkwrap them and sell them as: Mosquito Farming Kit (Just add water!).

• Set them up in the backyard as a miniature obstacle course.

Anyone else?

"I ordered 5 of these 235/70/16 for $70 ea "

can we really fit 235's on our stock rims?
I thought we could but wasnt sure... are you using stock rims or some other rims that allow 235's??

Thanks

I gave them away to the guy who put the tires on, new 5-ply Cross-Terrains in Mexico. I told him I would not even take a dollar for them, on the advice not to put the old ones on anyone else's car. He did not listen and the person came back angrily after two flats in two days here on Mexico City streets.

They work well as boat dock protectors. If you don't have a dock how about a tire swing for for each of of your 4 "youg un's"

Goncookoo, 235s will fit fine on stock rims.

gsenthil, I like Daddy-O's suggestion: create Tirehenge! (Actually, that has been done quite a bit here in the rural south, except the owners will also paint them, usually white, light blue or light pink...........but it might be a new thing in your neck of the woods!! )
