Are the tires you sell new?

Yes! We only sell new unused tires that are kept in properly conditioned warehouses.

What are my payment options?

We accept major debit and credit cards like Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. We also accept payments through PayPal.

What are my delivery options?

We deliver by FedEx to street addresses in the 48 contiguous states, and your order can go to any address you choose there. We do not ship to Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, other US territories, APO/FPO/DPO addresses or PO Boxes. Our warehouses are not set up to assist with in-person pick-ups, so all orders are shipped to your chosen delivery address.

What warranty options do I have?

While we don't offer our own warranty, most brands offer a manufacturer's warranty that covers defects and excessive treadwear.

What is your return policy?

We allow returns for 30 days after delivery. The tires must not be mounted or damaged, and you need a Return Authorization from us before sending anything back. We do not accept returns for any tires that have already been mounted or driven on.

Specifications

The full spec sheet

ModelThe manufacturer's name for this tread pattern. The same model in another size shares the same tread design and rubber compound.: Defender 2
Speed RatingA letter code for the highest sustained speed the tire is built to handle — T is 118 mph, H is 130, V is 149. Don't fit a rating lower than the one your vehicle came with.: H
Load IndexA code for the maximum weight one tire can carry at its recommended inflation pressure. Match or beat the index listed on your driver's-door sticker.: 102
Load RangeThe tire's strength class, carried over from the old ply-rating system. C, D and E carry progressively more weight at higher inflation pressures — you'll mostly see them on trucks and vans.: SL
SeasonThe conditions the tread and rubber compound are designed for. All-season is the year-round default; winter tires stay flexible below 45°F; summer tires grip best in warm, dry weather and aren't made for snow.: All-Season
WeightWhat a single tire weighs. It doesn't change your price — delivery is quoted at checkout, not charged by weight.: 28.2 lbs
SidewallHow the lettering on the tire's outer wall is finished — blackwall, white letters, and so on. It's cosmetic and doesn't affect how the tire drives.: BSW
Run FlatA reinforced sidewall that lets you keep driving a limited distance at reduced speed after losing air. Only fit these to a vehicle with tire-pressure monitoring.: No
Tire type: Passenger
UTQG: 840 B B
Overall diameter: 28.5"
Tread depth: 10.5/32"
Max pressure: 51 psi
WidthSection width in millimetres — the tire's width from sidewall to sidewall. It's the first number in a size like 225/65R17.: 225 mm
Aspect RatioThe sidewall height as a percentage of the section width — the second number in 225/65R17. A lower number means a shorter sidewall.: 65
Rim DiameterThe wheel diameter this tire mounts on, in inches. This one has to match your wheel exactly.: 17"
UPC / GTIN: 086699082183
Part number: 08218
Revolutions / mile: 730
Approved rim widths: 6.0-8.0"
