Looking at getting a set of new tires for the Ranger. Running 275/60-15 BFG RTA's right now on the street. Going to replace them with 325/50-15's.....would prefer a regular radial tire but can not find them in this size so may have to go with a DR. Did some googling around but can't decided on what brand or where to get them. It's going to see 90% street miles if that makes any difference. Any input is appreciated.

i took a quick look at Summit's and Harlow's sites, came up empty for regular radials. Both had DRs listed. If you're into Hoosiers, http://www.preciseracing.com/6/trackservices.cfm Precise Racing, on 356 in Sarver, (22W to 66N to 356N/W) may carry the DRs. I got my slicks through them. Might save you some shipping costs from Summit, Jegs, etc.
believe it or not, but walmart has a great deal on i believe nitto's. last time i looked they are about $15-20 cheaper per tire than anywhere else and can be shipped to your local walmart free.
Discount tire was still cheaper on the Nittos from what I saw, but the biggest they get is 275/60.
walmart is 161 http://mobile.walmart.com/ip/Nitto-1...93?type=search

I deal with Discount Tire Direct for my tires. I think they have DRs on there. Always good prices, free shipping and their customer service is top notch.

If it looks good, you'll see it. If it sounds good, you'll hear it. If it's marketed right, you'll buy it. But if it's real, you'll feel it. IG: @donuttrump
I've always bought my drag radials from discount tire direct. Good prices, free shipping , and great customer service as mentioned above. They have a warehouse in Ohio. I always get my tires the next day
