re: Off brand Tires Discussion

No Chinesium willpops for me ol’ baw.

I had a set of 35" Atturo Blades on my F250, they're basically a Toyo Open Country MT knock-off. I didn't have any complaints, no weird wearing, and still got ~50,000 miles out of a set which what I've been getting out of the Toyos, Coopers, and Firestones that I've had previously/now on the same truck.

Whatever you do don’t get these. Absolute terrible tires. I had Terra Hunters and at 10k they could not get them to balance (even tried road force balancing). I can understand 1 tire, but all 4 were screwed up.

Afterwards I looked online and there are tons of complaints about the same thing.

Currently running Black Hawk street tires. Have not been disappointed.

My 5th wheel came with Arisun. They are from china, i know china tires are called "chinabombs, or maypops" but I never had a problem with mine in 8 years. My buddy has had several blowouts on his 5th wheel with Goodyear tires. He recently had 4 new tires put on and had a blowout first trip, and Goodyear declined to warranty his tire or cover the damage to the side of his camper because he didn't bring enough of the tire back for them to investigate. The tire was blown to shreds on middle of interstate highway. Was he supposed to run in traffic and collect the pieces??

I find you get what you pay for on big names like Toyo, Nitto, etc. Tend to last a lot longer in my experience

Assume decent cheap Korean brands.
I forgot the brand but I got a set of offset 18's that were zr rated and a set of large suv 16's and paid $800 for both shipped.

Please don't take this the wrong way.

It is honestly the first thing that popped into my mind.

If someone spends 70, 80, 90k on a truck, lifts it to be able to take 37s

Would you not want the best money can buy?

I get what you are saying but, chances are still very good that off brand tire will still hit a decent enough comparative mileage that makes the savings worthwhile.

My truck is 12.5 years old, i'm putting some other monies into upgrading some things so if i can save $700 that helps pay for something else, i'm open to it.

I do like the above poster's suggestion of making sure whatever offbrand tire is sold by a local tire shop so i can make sure they are responsible for whatever issues could arise... balancing etc.

Got it

That previous poster does have a great point about buying from a local shop in case of any issues

If they cupped, you probably ran them with too low of air pressure.
