That's kinda odd... I noticed a Dodge with those on it... looked like some decent all around tires ;)

The place I'm buying them from told me they are great tires in the snow and rain. Thats the main reason I bought then and they weren't too expencive either. I'm paying $73 installed

Nice tires! They look mean.

I was gonna go with Liberators from Wal-mart. Everyone in my wife's family has them.

But they are retarded an won't put any size tire except stock on your vehicle. So they lost my business. I don't want 205/75-15 I wanted 225/70-15. It's stupid cause they are the same diameter 27" it's not like I wanted them to put 30" or 31's on it.

being a co-operation they are always going to be like that
Liability being the issue
and it's really their word against yours incase of a "in theory" blowout/bead pop due to non oem standards

I just told the guy at the shop when I got my tires done (he's super cool and really didn't care)
but I stated just for liability sakes
here is the milage on my car
just lift my car
i'll remove the wheels
and I asked to just get the tires mouted and balanced
I put the wheels on myself
hehe

btw--- why didn't you just get some 235/75/15?
it's only a 6% difference in wheel diameter size

as you see in the pictures
they fit w/o any issues w/ just stock suspension and no BL

however that is coming soon
no spacer's neither...
just watch out for tires with really big shoulders such as mt/r's

My brother in law has the Wal Mart liberators on his 2wd ranger and cherokee. Seem to work well for him, but I hated the ranger in the winter with them on it...

Well I was hearing conflicting arguements on if they will fit or not so I decided on the 225-70's '

Also if I do anything to my tracker susp. wise it will be lowered not raised. I don't go off-road or climb rocks so I don't need to lift it.

Well they are installed and wow they look nice.  :D
They have very deep treads and look like they will last atleast 3yrs

Wish I had a digicam.  :'(

I got them installed blackwall out. Now I kinda wish I knew for sure that 235/75's would fit before I ordered the 225/70's because they would actually be cheaper cause they buy them in bulk. Oh Well.

Cost me $393 for 5 tires mounted and ballanced with new valve stems and old tire removal.

I was only able to drive them from the shop home.  But so far they feel alot better (a bit more softer feeling than the wore out Douglas X-tra Trac's I had on before.)
Also it feels like I need less effort to turn.(maybe cause they are a little wider?)

It kinda stinks that I'm not able to drive it most of today either cause we are taking our 4dr Cavalier and Wife, mom-in-law, nephew-in-a-carseat, and I to the wifes doctor appt. and christmas shopping. Not enough room for gifts and ppl in the Tracker.

Maybe later today I could drive by myself.
