[QUOTE="Stanglover, post: 349318, member: 3596"] Mine are 14" and I paid $175 Cdn. Then the fun started. I bought them from a friend who runs a mobile tire service...… of sorts! He tried to balance the Magnum 500 wheels, but I ended up taking them to another tire shop in town to have them properly balanced. 500's are centerless and must be balanced with a special adaptor, mounting them by the bolt holes. That shop wanted $190 apiece and that's what it ending up costing me along with a load of frustration. One thing, make sure the date codes are at least close to current. BFG's will read something like 44 18 ( two of mine) week 44 of 2018, i.e. Oct 29 to Nov 4 2018. Some places will sell you old tires if they can get away with it. The reason I bought new tires was mine were 13 years old and hard as rock. Hope the weather hold for the weekend, not looking so promising by the latest local forecast, damn it! Geoff. [/QUOTE]
