    The cheapest I could find new trailer tires in CS, was bryan tire or whatever the name of that place is on texas N on the right hand side (everyone goes their, you know where I am talking about). They were $75 for 225x70x16 IIRC.

    Lockers are axle specific. I highly doubt that your toyota came with a reverse rotation dana 30 axle up front, like in later jeeps. You would need a locker for your specific axle based off make/model.
    Yea I knew that, dunno what I was thinking. Guess I got a little excited there... I still might like to watch/help out if I'm not doing anything else this weekend. I'll be doing one eventually but will probably wait until I find a good deal, like on a forum

    dont use used 'car' tires, they dont have the load rating for a trailer, but i dont see any reason not to use a used truck tire if a true trailer tire is out of the question money wise

    like tyler said make sure to carry a spare, and you might be able to find some tires on craigslist cheap

    gonna be hard to find a truck tire in the 205-225 variety suit for his use. any meskin shop will get you 4 new trailer tires for $300 cash out the door.

    If we are doing this at Travis's house, and anyone wants to come help me out with my fourwheel drive on buckwheat, that would be great

    another place to get trailer tires is the trash pile at tire places. u don't need alot of tread on a trailer tire. just for it to have the highest load rating you can get your hands on and no dry rot. tires that are no longer good for a car can work on a trailer......

    With all due respect, and I do mean, WITH ALL DUE RESPECT, that is the dumbest post on the internet at this time. Just look it up on that alexis site or whatever. It has a dumb index of like one brazillion....




    DON'T cheap out on trailer tires unless you are stuck trying to get home from a trip. Trying to save a few bucks on a tire might cost you ten fold that when it blows out. Especially if you are towing someone else's rig.

    Hankook F19's are good tires, don't know that they have them in a 15 though.

    let me help you out here...

    Keep an eye out for 80 Series parts on all of these club websites. They are all Texas based clubs that are either Toyota 4x4 enthusiasts or straight up Land Cruiser clubs. Most folks have 80 Series cruisers for family hauling duty so parts are plentiful. The final link is to IH8MUD the numero uno source for all Land Cruiser stuff (but I am sure you already knew that ) Their classified section is extensive and plentiful. Someone will be selling something somewhere.

    Also to install any thing in your 80 series Diff (it is a 9.5" Chunk) you will have to drop the actual diff out of the axle not just pull the cover on the back side. In my opinion it is actually easier than the jeep and one-ton boys but to each their own.
