Looking for Tires

I am planning to lift my M1008A1 when I get the "card" paid off. And wanted to know if anyone had any gently used tires in the 36-38" range or could tell me where I could get a set reasonably.

What does your friend want for the hummer tires?

Would the XL's fit on my M1008 with a 4" lift and some trimming?
Stupid question but are they mounted on Humvee rims in the pic and do the rims come with the tire?

you looking for new or used tires? 36s or 37s. pretty sure he sold a set of new 36s to a old friend for 400 with 2 good used spares. the xls will fit. a guy i meet has xls on a 4" lift. with some cutting. was easy to, we just cut the rust out. not sure what to do with the edge tho. his truck flexes pretty well. cut into the tire a bit. sure someone know a good way to fix it

I'd go for whatever is good, cheap, and will fit on my 1009 with relatively little modification. :)

I run XZLs on my truck with 4 inches of lift. Yes, they work great, ride good, and balance just fine! Surprisingly enough, the closer tread blocks on the XZLs pull good too, XLs would be more of a mud tire.

yeah they would. if you have hmmwv rims on the truck then you'd just need to trim a bit of the rear edge off the front fender opening.
