Tires For 4×4

]]> Buying the right tire is much more involved than spending a few hours in line at Wal-mart only to have some snot nosed kid throw some cheapies on the rim.  Often times, for real enthusiasts, purchasing the right tire may be just as important decision as what type of rim to buy.  Factors involved with the purchase of tires range from use, to durability, life, and of course if they will look appealing on your vehicle.

When buying 4x4 tires the decision to purchase the right tires can be even more difficult.  4x4 tires can be a lot more expensive than your typical set of radials, typically durability and thread design has a bigger impact on the final value price.  Furthermore there are a lot of reputable brands to review and make sure they will fit your 4x4 needs.  For example a 4x4 tire for a real off roader looking to throw mud will buy a different tire than the soccer mom looking to outfir tires on their Lexus 4x4.

Xterrain is a 4x4 tire manufacturer that has a great reputation amongst the true off-road crowd.  Their ProComp series of 4x4 tires are used in competitions and are affordable enough to outfit any hobby truck or suv.  If you are new to 4x4 tire purchasing then it's important to realize that while you may not recognize the name, Xterrain is made by the Cooper Tire & Rubber Co.  It's typical of big name manufacturers to produce a 4x4 tire under a different name, so as you research your tires, expect to see some big names hiding behind popular 4x4 'extreme' titles.

White Wall Tires

]]> Are white wall tires making a come back this spring or are more people just fixing up old cars? Personally, I'm a fan of the fat white wall markings on old muscle cars, it just adds a nice antique look to an already beautiful car. But finding a set of white walls can be difficult to complete that winter project you have in your garage.

Thanks to the miracle of the internet I've found a few good sources for white wall tires and generally the best prices are on ebay. If you are scared about shipping, don't be. Most tires, including white walls are capable of being UPS'd, so truck lines are not necessary.

Check out the white wall tires on ebay:
