There's so many offbrand shite name tires that a lot come with "warranty" but whatever... if i'm saving a thousand dollars nearly on a new set and getting about 80% of the tire, wouldn't it be worth it?

Anybody have any experience with any of these names? Names get a bit comical.

DCent
Arisun
Terra Raider
Road X
Milestar
Goodride
Radar
Forceland
Fortune
Kanati (this one catching my eye)
Rovelo
Centennial
Amp
Patriot
Achilles
Sailsun
Gladiator
Duro
Atturo
Blackhawk
Venom Power
Delinte
Fury
Americus
Ironman
Predator
Eldorado


I'm literally amazed by the volume of off brand names that are our there. This is all based off a singular site's search of 37's/12.5/20's. Don't want a MT... looking aggressive AT's.... maybe a RT.

But the savings of $500- $1000's are tempting.

Spare me the get off my nitto lawn speech!

savings wouldn't be able to be determined until you know how many miles you can get out of a set of off brands.

I have 40k miles right now on my KO2s and they look to have another 40k miles left on them.

sure but there are no guarantees even on better known brands. Driving Habits, Driving Style, truck weight, etc all have substantial impact on mileage on tires.

someone bragging on getting X mileage on Y tire could probably get something close as well from Z tire.

But Driver B could be totally different.

The factory bridgestone duelers are worn out on my 2023 F250 at 40k miles. I am putting 37x12.50 R20's on it very soon. I've done a ton of research and think I am going with either Falken Wildpeak AT4W or RT01's. The Toyo RT's are pretty enticing also. I've read the K02's are too soft on the sides for the heavier 3/4 tons to have a decent tread life.

The Tacoma I got for my son a year ago came with like new Venom Powers on it and they still look new after 10k miles. Pretty sweet looking and performing tire as well.

Driving style might make some difference, but it'll be commensurate across brands/styles.

I just ordered my third set of KO2's and have gotten 70k plus out of my last two sets. Thats good enough for me.

Same boat here man. I need a new set but I don't drive much (3-4k/yr). Rarely over 60mph. I don't need some super hard expensive arse long lasting tire. They'll dry rot before I wear em out.

I've pretty much settled on Radar Renegade R/T. The Patriots are the exact same tire.

The Radars seem pretty popular online in the Jeep community and other similar groups. 35s for under $1k, why not?

Do you need a leveling kit to run 37’s? Will be needing a set of tires soon for my 2020 f250

Yes, I have a 2" level lift on mine. I know they will rub slightly at full turn on a 22 and under but I don't think they will rub on a 23/24. Supposedly the sway bar and control arms were slightly altered on the latest models.

Also, I don't remember if Discount Tire is a thing these days in LA, but here in TX, they told me yesterday they will sell me the tires but not mount the 12.5 on my factory wheels due to wheel width and tire warranty. They said the tires will def work on an 8" wide wheel but it had to be 8.5" or more for them to be able to mount them. They also wont touch the tires after even if I get someone else to mount them for me.

Getting tires right now and looking in the Tire Business Magazine.



Look how many come from China.

My duelers went quicker than that. I posted a pic here of a hole in one of them when the truck had 20k miles on it and everybody was saying to get new tires.

I currently have about 20k on my Falken Rubitreks and they still look brand new. $190/tire from Sam's.

Same here. My 06 Silverado I bought in October of 05 has just over 77K on it----so just over 4K a year.

The last set of tires I replaced were more due to dry rot than tread wear.

Not one of those offbrands, but I have a set of Pirelli Scorpion All Terrain Plus's on my truck and they've exceeded my expectations for about 12,000 miles. They were a few hundred cheaper than the big names, but I also kept the size stock. Worth looking into as an option.
