Anyone know where I can get tires for an 07 JEEP SRT8?

Hey guys,

This is directed towards those of you living in the middle east. Does anyone know where they sell the 07 Jeep SRT8 tires here?
I've honestly tried every goodyear dealership with no luck. Not even the little tire stores!

Getting it shipped over from the states costs way too much! almost 3grand US.

255/45/ZR20
285/40/ZR20

Please help

I've got hankooks on right now but they are crap honestly.

I get crazy vibrations while driving it and the dealership is
telling me its because of my tires.

The tire sizes are nothing like the stock ones. Problem is... no one makes the exact same tire size as goodyear. And I've heard alot of good feedback from the nittos. Although they also dont have the same sizes. Any idea what size i should be looking at or what specific tire?

sorry if my questions seem silly... I've never had issues with tires before.

Thanks for the help

I have 255/45/20 fronts
Rear is 315/35/20

I have Toyo proxes

Would never go back to the good years even if they were offered for free

I might switch to nittos after the toyos i have 30000 km and going strong

I know you said the shipping from the US was expensive, but have you checked with TireRack? They may be able to get it sorted out at a reasonable price, they've helped me out in the past, it may be worth a call or email to see.

Check your tie rods while you are at it. A bend in one can cause the same vibrations. It may be tough to tell if you don't look close.


Give tirerack a call for the tires. They are a TS sponsor and those guys all know their stuff.

I agree with member pinned, whoever quoted you 3k for shipping is NUTS! I ordered a set recently from tire rack and shipping all the way to bahrain was not more than 400 dollars.
