Why are these tires so cheap?

[dvdswan]

I'm looking at tires and came across these... for $73.82. Most mud tires start at $160.00.

Would these howl like Ground Hawg tires?

They can be difficult to balance and wear quickly. But they sell a lot of them. I know guys that run them on jelly bean f 150s and like them.

Do you know how many miles they get out of them?

 

[bobbywalter]

30s

 

[bobbywalter]

Sometimes teens though.

For what they are and how cheap they are, run em. Who cares how long they last, nobody buys mud tires and expects to get 60k out of them. Hard to balance and loud are separate issues though.

Alignment will play a huge factor in tire life though, my buddy's Super Duty burned through a set of 37" Maxxis RAZR MT's in less than 10,000 miles. I could tell right away that he had camber way out of spec as it was wearing off the inside edge of the front tires. I don't know if he did any more than a tape measure alignment on it.

I've never used them. I was actually looking for tires and they popped up, seemed like one of those too good to be true things. Still skittish about them.

My credit card got locked up when I was trying to buy 35s for my bronco from priority tire... something for pavement only... which I have used priority for tires quite a bit.

I was going to try the land spiders. Big pia .... 750 for a set of 35s was hard to pass up. But they way they work I would have waited up to 10 weeks for that deal ... How these sites can work it flags the fraud... because many of them are indeed fraud....

So I ended up just getting robbed locally with 33s for 1200... And pissed off...but it's just what it is ....

Try tirerack.com. Personally, I like them. You have to navigate the site yourself to get to the better deals (e.g. vehicle specs limit/filter available options).

It's better than a van under a bridge by the river or a cardboard box on the statehouse lawn.
