I just got a 85 P Type on Friday and since the front 2 Cooper Cobras are pretty worn I'm looking to replace them all.

I read about the Falken's and when I go to http://www.bigotires.com (and they seem to be the exclusive distributor of the tire) they recommend the light truck version for the P Type and then the 502's for the L type. The 502's will fit on the P Type at 225/60/14 correct?

You betcha...225/60/14 is the correct size for the P-Type.

Welcome aboard!!

Ziek 502s check Sears as well

PS add your state to your avatar helps when locating services :wink:

I got mine for $218 shipped. From here> http://www.vulcantire.com/index.html

Also pop in to the local Discount Tire & see if they can order them. Sometimes they can just about order anything. Otherwise, pop into Sears Automotive, I KNOW they can order the Ziex 502's.

Big O & Les Shwab...... Sometimes I wonder about them.... :lol:

Do you know how the prices are through Sears?

I got mine from a local dealer I found on the Falken Website

They cost about $390 installed (Canadian) that about $90 cheaper than the price of the replacement BFG's without installation.

My Dealer told me they were a discontinued model and he could only get 12 of them. He's down to eight of them now :)

I got mine from a local tire shop they ordered them and had them there with in two hours :P

Next best thing would probably be Vulcan tire

Sears will sell them to ya
however, they will try to bend you over and take it in buttocks for them :wink: they overprice everything there :roll:

I just ordered a set of 225-60-14
$44 ea = 176
s&h = 70 to Las Vegas
total = 246

I called Discount Tire and they will match the pricing on VulcanTire.com.

$44x4 = $176 + tax and disposal of old tires and new valve stems = about $200 including free mounting.

I may just get 2 though as my rear tires are fine but the fronts are worn.

Personally, I'd get all 4. Keep the other 2 current ones as spares (for whatever emergency). But that's just me & my asthetics hangup (likes all 4 tires to match).

Well I plan on getting the rears changed ASAP but the fronts NEED it bad and moneywise I may only be able to get the front 2 at this time.

Went it Discount and they had to call around, but were able to find me 4 tires. I was told at first he may not be able to find them. Get them while you can.
