Affordable A/T Tires

[bamakojon]

I'm wondering if anyone has tried some of the cheaper A/T tire brands, such as ones that are available at Walmart. specifically I'm interested in the Travelstar Ecopath A/T. They look nice an have generally positive reviews, and and the price is pretty hard to beat if they're decent. Are there any other lesser known tire brands/models that are good for the money? I currently have 265/65r17s, (31'') so I'd be looking for something around that size.

I've had a set of Antares SMT A7 A/Ts before and liked them, but their price has gone up to the point that I might as well just buy Coopers... I'd love a set of KO2s, but they're too expensive for me at this point. Are there any truly decent or even good A/T tires in the sub $130 range? Any suggestions are welcome, even if it's to say that I should just suck it up and buy the more expensive ones! Thanks!

I would bite the bullet and get something good when it comes to tires, I made that mistake this year and bought off brand mt tires. I should have bought bfg at like I was going to but I got these for 300 bucks cheaper. Won't make that mistake again.

The Mastercraft tires are Made In U.S.A. by Cooper and sold by independent dealers for a decent price.

Milestar Patagonia A/T R All- Terrain Radial Tire-265/65R17 112T for $104.38 each here. You'll have to find someone to mount them.

This isnt their highly popular and uber functional M/T, but this isa good tire, great reviews and they will mount them cheaper than anyone... when budget is important.

Robot or human?

No idea whether they're available where you are, however when we were looking for a BFG T/A to replace a blown tyre the shop (which had the BFGs) recommended Toyo Open Country AT - they told us that the tyre is as good as the BFG but was significant;ly cheaper. We took one and have now gone to Toyos to replace all but one of the other tyres, and plan to replace the last with another Toyo when that wears out. The Toyos are good on the highway, good on gravel and mud, and good on rock and sand. We're happy with them, after experience with Dunlop, Pirelli, Yokohama, and BFG ATs.

I'm running the Hankook AT2's, they were fairly cheap and they have been great tires

I love my West Lake SL369 235/85r16 tires. They were like 100$ each. Had them over a year, not a single problem. I will be getting them in 285/75r16 when they ever decide to wear out.
Quiet and well behaved on highway, good traction off pavement and in snow, over 30,000 miles and still looking fresh

I run Pathfinder AT’s. Their Discount Tires house brand. I’ve put a lot of hard trail miles on them and am extremely surprised how they have held up.

I was able to find the exact same tires I loved on my previous rig on sale at amazon, then got my local discount tire to match the price.

Man, if I could find KO2's for less than $100 I would be ecstatic! Unfortunately for me everything seems to get more expensive when you move up to 17" rims...

I'm thinking I'll look around for some black Friday deals. If anyone here knows of our hears about something crazy, let me know!

The way I look at tires is buy once cry once. Yep there are cheap tires available, but 9 times out of 10 they wear so fast you would pay less in the long run. I have been there and am there now. I saved 400 bucks buying the tires I have on the Jeep now, thought I would give them a go, and now, they will be being replaced by big this spring. Saved nothing in the long run.

My amazing wife found and ordered a set of 5 33"x12.5x15 Cooper Evolution M/Ts for $888 shipped to the door off amazon
Granted that was maybe 1.5 years ago. I love em. not noisey & no problems so far ~ 10k miles on them currently.
I'm thinking of maybe going to a 32 or 33" aggressive A/Ts, thoughts?

Aggressive? Maybe Nitto Recon Grapplers. I just put on a set of Falken Rubitreks and am very pleased. For deals I would check Walmart occasionally, they run great discounts you just have to gamble sometimes on if you receive the right thing haha. Always check the descriptions, but if you do end up receiving the wrong thing refunds are pretty easy.

Thanks & thanks for your service, Brother. Either look to be just what I think I'm looking for; long trip comfort + wet road ..

Hey. Looking for something affordable for my 2015. Here is what I got:
2015 Tacoma TRD Off-Road (2WD w/ Locker)
Lift 2in Front, 1.5in Rear
17x8.5 tires w/ -10 offset (not yet mounted)

Looking for new ALL TERRIAN tires in 285/70 or 275/70. I have no fear of going with a "generic" tire company, just want them to have that aggressive look of Falken AT3 or ko2. I bought Falken AT3 when they first came out and were dirt cheap and had no reviews available anywhere (honestly can't believe they are more expensive than ko2's now).

Any recommendations?

Laughs hard in Kenda RT.

Or Kenda Mt2.

 

[Outdoordog]

Never skimp on important parts, especially tires and suspension.

 

[Sea Diamond]

These Cooper Discoverer A/T³'s didn't break the bank and served us well for the last couple of years

Cheap tires are something in between. Now first our market might be different, but I just bought a set of kumho at52 for half the price of bfg ko2 and they are, by no means, made cheap. I still consider them cheap.
I run general tire X3 for summer and I'm absolutely happy with them but I won't buy them again because they became hilariously expensive, they will be replaced by Falken or Yokohama, both again not cheap but almost half the price of the X3.

So what cheap means is a question of how you define it.
