Thoughts....
A certain vendor (starts with 4...ends with parts) will ship 5x Super Swampers TSL/Thornbirds, 35 x 12.50 x 17 to my door for 1178.39
Should I jump on it??? that is super cheap...but I know the Thornbird is rough on wear and not so much of a road tire...correct????

Anyone know a good place in the area to get gears done for a decent price that does good work? If I have to pull my Solid diff covers to grind them for clearance for my stock lockers to work properly, I'd like them to go back on covering a set of new 4.88 gears.

I had a set of thornbirds on an old jeep of mine and hated them and yes they suck in rain. I had mine for two weeks hydro planned and rear ended two guys (go figure).
Save your money and spend a little more for a better tire. But thats my opinion, do what you feel is the best deal for you.

Yeah, sorry bout that! Tony, as far as someplace local for gear install, I would guess Rocket City Off Road on Jordan, as Gary suggested, or Gilbert's on the other side of Athens. I have only had a couple of experiences with RCOR, and they were ok. Nothing special. Gilbert's was great to work with, but I only purchased parts from them. So can't really comment on their workmanship.
