I have about $1,100 to spend on a new set of tires, and would like to get a few reccomendations on what a nice reliable, long lasting tire is. I don't tow or haul anything, so I don't need a "heavy duty" tire. I would like to replace all 6 tires, but only the rears are bad. I don't really want to spend all my money on these tires, but I want ones that will last.

Any suggestions will be appreciated,

Parker

 

6 x $160 = $960

Most any decent 235-85-16 tire is gonna cost about $160-$170 installed, tax inclusive.


I really like TOYO Open Country HTs for the steer axle and Eldorado ZTRs for the drive.

If always on dry pavement, then the TOYOs all the way around are best.

If on a lot of snow-covered roads and a few cow-pastures, then the ZTRs all around.


If being able to go regardless is your main concern, then the MAXXIS BuckShot Mudder is the way to go.

 

I drive on pavement 99.99% of the time, and want a tire that will last long. I don't drive in the snow (2wd can't move anyway...) but I do drive in the rain if that matters at all.

 

How do those wear? Assuming proper rotation and inflation? Better than BFG MTs?



Where is Goshen anyway???

 

Surprisingly for a real mud tire, the Buckshots wear like iron, and will probably outwear most of the supposedly high-mileage tires.


One thing I know for sure, once someone tries a set, that is all they want from then on.

 

Goshen s right outside of Louisville? Any particular reason you want to know?

 

He wants to know where he can get a slightly used set of tires in a week or so.

 

If he wants a set of slicks, then I have just what he's looking for...

 

Like BearKiller, I really like the TOYO Open Country HT. Have them on my front end. They ride nice, are quiet and are wearing well. I have had them about three years.

I am running some "Big O" HT (forget the model name) on the rear. they are doing well also. I think Big O is only in the Mountain west area... so may not be applicable for you.

You should be able to get a good tire for the price range you are looking in.

 

Believe it or not, BIG-O is fairly common around here with outlets in most of the decent-sized towns.

 

I think I have decided in Michelin LTX's. Everyone says they wear very evenly, and last a long time.

Thanks for all the input,
Parker

 

I feel michelin's are the best tire out there. ( and that would explain why I have none )

 

Good to know In our area they have always been a decent place to do business, but not the only one. Sometimes don't know how far some corporations go and I didn't google it.

 

Yep Richie, that's usually how it goes

 

pirelli scorpions ATR's i love mine and they will last for a long time and grip like a SOB
