I shouldnt but i will
« on: May 22, 2010, 04:51:27 PM »
Going to ask for help for a soldier that needs it.. and I am going to ask GATR... he has a Yota 4runner sport.. and needs tires. the problem is he has 2 kids in dipers... the youngest was a surprise to everyone.... and he cant afford new tires.. but needs some that are better then what he has. the front left tire is so bad that he is running on the steel belt in most places on the tire.. he doesnt even buy himself new clothes so he can put food on the table for the kids. Not asking for anyone to buy him tires... that part is going to be taken care of by the NCOs in the shop,,, just looking to see if anyone knows where there are some GOOD CHEAP tires for him..

There's a place here in town that specializes in used tires. Maybe there is something in Augusta that does as well. If not check tire rack and or wal-mart. Also Mike keep an eye out on craigslist many times you can buy good tires and stock wheels for less than you can buy new tires. Try searching toyota take offs and see if anything comes up.

Hope that helps.  {toast}

Yah, what size tars?

My mom is about to put new tires on her Grand Cherokee. The old ones have plenty of life, but we negotiated a new set when she bought it. They are for a 17" wheel though. You can have them if they'll work.

Sucks to here stories like this about you guys that are fighting for us. Saw and experienced plenty when I was in.

Yeah, what size?  Allsouth is always taking off tires I can get. Not great sometimes, but safe. I have a michelin that fits my tahoe in the basement. Half tread maybe.

Any luck on finding him a set? My neighbor works at a tire place, and they do sell used tires. I could see what lurks in the back of his shop if ya want...
