Is $ 1800.00 a good price for 5 of 285 75 16 BFG Muddies and a wheel alignment,

Why buy 5 , just buy 4 IMO and rotate 4 .I paid that for tyres and rims normally around $1200 for 4 tyres
Wheel alignment only $50 tops, shop around. Only need RW spare to keep all happy.
Spare is only to get you to a servo to repair flat, thats why its a spare

I agree that 1800 is a little rich.
Then again, I got 6x Kumho KL71 Mudders 285 85R16 for $800
2 brand new, 4 with about 50k on em, & included brand new Dynamic Land Rover rims. STEEL!!!
Sold rims $450, New Patrol Dynamic rims at $85ea, Bargain
I'd shop elsewhere

Thx 3D, but definately wan't 5, as ive always liked to have the same spare as i rotate the 5 of them every 5000 k's, a bit strange but have always done it that way,

Cheers,

I like to have 5 also and as I change my wheels regularly from road tyres to muds I rotate all the time...

Hi Niss H,

I phoned Jax Tuggers today and the best they could do was $ 360 a corner,

But Jax at mitchell will do them for $ 340.

Cheers,

Bummer, I must have got him on a good day or on special . $340 is still pretty good.
Could try Jax at Qby as well, Got my last tyres from there cheap

Good Luck
