Cooper Discoverer ATR 315/70R17 $168.00

Hey Guys,

I'm getting bored trying to figure out a way to get into 19.5" wheels & tires to go bigger in diameter without going wider.

Looking at my bank account -- I just have to wonder -- $3,200 to Rickson's is a bunch of mulah for 4 aluminum wheels and 4 tires just because I want to go narrow and tall. So I'm considering the possibility that I might save about $2,400 and go fat and tall. It's still tall right? And $2,400 spends pretty well elsewhere.

I realize that conventional wisdom for 315/70R17's is to go with the BFG's & the Toyo's, but I get bored doing what everyone else is doing. Never been much of a follower. So here the best deal I could find on the Cooper Discoverer ATR's:

www.tiresavings.com has:

Before I drop the $780 -- Anyone have any thoughts on these?

I was also looking at the Geolandar H/T-S (G051) in the same size but can't find them....

As always -- I'm grateful for the feedback & Thanks.
