Not to sure where to put this one but i need some tires pretty bad. I would like to find some decent inexpensive AT's or MT's to fit on the stock rims or my 17 x 10's. any help / suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

 

Depends on your interpretation of inexpensive. New ones are always expensive, IMO.
Whenever I'm looking for cheap tires, I look for takeoffs or other used tires for sale. I've bought many sets of new or nearly new truck tires for $200-400 per set (of 4). Just bought a new (less than 5k mi) set of Dodge takeoff rims and tires for my Chevy. Only wanted the rims. Paid $600 for all, sold the tires for $350, lug nuts for $30, and the center caps for $75.
Ended up w/ new alloy rims that I like, for less than $200.

 

like Grit Gog said what do you consider expensive.
I'm change from 325/60R18 to 275/70R18 at the tune of $250 each. Ouch!

But they should last longer than 30,000miles

 

What they said, I have bought (and sold) a few take off sets. My last one was a set of all 4 2005 alum. 8 lugs with BRAND new rubber, bought them for $500.

 

Tires is not the place to look for cheap. Buy the best at the cheapest price you can find.

 

go to 4wheelparts.com, they sell blems for REAL cheap. Im talking 35/12.50/17 AT's for like $150 each. Shipped was going to be right under $700 for me. Worth a shot

 

put a set of yokohama geolandar a/t's on my '02 and they were really good tires- good dry, rain, and snow and got great wear from them. just need to run them at max pressure on a big, heavy diesel truck- and by the way they were crazy cheap from discount tire.

 

I suggest checking tires easy .com, I got the set I have on my tuck now from them and could never find a deal close to being as good, let alone better than theirs.

 

Remember that these are load range E tires -and they won't be cheap. The PO on my truck installed Load range D tires on the front - big mistake with that heavy Cummins riding over them. Within 10k after buying the truck - it looked like either of them could have blown out.

I've settled on the Michelin LTX's (stock size) that seem to work well overally. Wear seems a little better than the Goodyear Wrangler AT's I had before. The best one of them is on the spare now. Right around $750 from Sam's with a full road hazard warrenty. With tires - you get what you pay for!

 

i picked up 2 285 75 16's mounted and balanced for 30 bucks... for BOTH of them. They are cooper tires with 1/2 tread left.

take off's & stuff.

first place i look for anything

 

I got a good set from craigs list, 35's BFG MT's for 400 bucks, all 4. Sniff around on the local classifieds, you might find something. And, like everyone else, call around for take offs.

 

with proper inflation pressure load range d tires can actually have a higher weight rating than smaller (stock) size e range. i have run 33"-35" d range tires on the 2 ctd's that i've owned with great results and usually get 30-40,000 miles- only real difference between d and e is 8 ply vs. 10 ply.
