Maybe he plans to trade in this truck in the near future but needs a set of tires to get him by.
Considering he was very concerned with long tread life and noise level, you could assume he keeping it for a while.

There's things I might go cheap on with a vehicle, Chinese tires would not be on that list.

100%, for the safety factor alone...

Awesome! Are you ready for a road trip? You will have to update us on the CF.

More about safety really. Personally not going to save myself a couple hundred bucks to wonder if I'm gonna have a belt separation, or a blowout on the Atchafalaya bridge. A lot more goes into it than rubber and tread. Doesn't mean I would start a thread about it though

I remember years ago when I got some Hankook Dynapros AT tires for my truck. I had never heard of them and they were the best set of tires I’ve had.
I used to only run Michelins on my truck, but I tried Hankooks the last time and have been well pleased with them. I would buy them again.
I put some Toyos on the Camry and while they initially were fine, I had a blowout with one while on the interstate and changed them out to BF Goodrich (made by Michelin now). The BFs have been fine.

“Discount” Tire is such a fraudulent name, they aren’t even cheap

My dad has a Nissan Frontier with 300K plus miles on it. It had Hankook on brand new. He put 100K miles on them. bought the same thing and put 100K on them also. I think hes still only on his third set of Hankook at 300K.

I’d be concerned about safety more than anything else.
For anyone who thinks all tires are the same, put a set of lower speed rated, cheap tires on an AWD Infinity car and then skate your arse sideways around every curve and bend when it rains.

Anyone with a brain would never let someone come into their shop and mount tires Hey do mind if I use some of that Mobil 1 over there while I’m here?

settle on some Chinese brand I’ve never heard of and customer finishes with “Are they good tires? I am wanting tires that are quiet and will last.”

Speaking of tires, any of you baws considered re-treads on your truck? Cheaper but I foresee the cap turning loose and destroying a quarter panel with it. no it to mention steering me into a huge white oak or oncoming taffic.
I knew a couple of guys that ran retreads on their off-road rigs but these typically got trailered to/from the park.

Buy discounted tires online and just pay someone to have them put on. It’s a long shot, but you can sometimes ask a local shop to use their equipment early hours and do it yourself.
If you’re really desperate, sometimes you can find tires in good shape on a car in the junkyard as well. I do that with trailer tires.
Don’t listen to the big box store chains that are only trying to upscale you on expensive tires and act like nothing else exists.
This entire post reeks of poverty

I had a f150 work truck with hanooks and I got 70,000 miles out of them. Come to think about it I think my new f150 has them too
