Wildcat ext????need opinion.

My buddy has a set of Wildcat EXT's 33 12.50 r15's that he got and daily drove for "under a thousand miles" before he built up his rig, regeared and started running 35's. he said the tread is like new and they have never been wheeled on so there not all chunked up. He said he would sell me em for $550. What do you guys think about the tire? and about the price? thanks -Josh

These? http://www.lesschwab.com/tires/winter/wildcatext.asp

Ive seen a few blow out sidewalls very easily. One driving on a gravel FS road. Have also herd of others with the same problems. They seem to be a decient tire otherwise I have no experience running them, but have seen their downfalls.

After doing a ton of searches on yahoo i found they are one of the cheapest "off-road" tires you can buy. For a set brand new they came out to $464.00. They are coopers version of the BFG mt's. Maybe I'll offer him like $300 for em. or better yet, maybe i'll just spend the extra money and get the tires i wanted in the first place and not have to worry about the sidewall blowing out every trip or even just messing around by my house. Any other info or personal expieriences with these tires would be greatly appreciated still........

PM Sniggs and ask him.

I ran then for awhile, really liked them on and off road. Never had a problem. I got them from a buddy of mine who ran them on his Grand with a V8, no problems. I saw him get smoke off of all 4 tires coming up hills and never had a problem!!

I'd get them again without thinking twice if I was looking for an MT! :cheers:

Most people in my neck of the woods love them. Mostly because they are cheap and offer good traction. But I've never ran them personally.
