The Official Tire Thread

[Yukon Stihl]

Had my heart set on some Goodyear steers for my KW.They were out of stock...
So the manager made me an offer i couldn't refuse on a couple of offshore tires sipped.If i don't like them he will refund me towards some Goodyear's and i can put them on my dump truck. I have 8 drive tires to change as well,they are a mixture of treads almost new.Wish i was 25 again 10 tires will be a long day Urggg
Then here are the new drives on my roll back,put them on last fall and never used the truck all winter,what a waste.

Pickup tires firestone mud terrain. Very little road noise. Very good traction off road. Farm tire. Firestone. Tractor truck tire Firestone’s. Any questions?

Hell thats just what’s in front of me now. Best industrial tires in the world. Car/passenger tires. Meh I like em

I like tires made in the USA

Then you should love Coopers, not only made in the USA, also American owned, the only other is Goodyear. Both are world wide companies.
As of 2015, there are a number of vehicle tires made in the United States: B.F Goodrich, Bridgestone/Firestone, Cooper, Goodyear, Dunlop, Kelly-Springfield, Titan Tire and Yokohama Tire. The U.S. Department of Transportation requires all tires have a code indicating where the tires were made and by which company.

I just looked them up and it said they were going to sell out in a company in India but that deal fell apart.

Hope they stay, back ten years ago they were the only tire company making new designs that sent them straight to the top. Last year a friend bought a redesigned ATP that was a marked improvement in traction over the original AT3. The S/T MAXX is the best tire I've ever owned for a truck. Traction and quiet at the same time, usually you get one or the other. All Cooper says is they are still made in America, doesn't mention ownership.

Went to our local tire shop (there a cooper dealer) last year for tires for my sons truck. Asked the guys for prices on couple different cooper tires. He literally told me don’t buy any cooper truck tires , we’ve been experiencing all kinds of problems with them in the last year. Said there quality control had gone to *s-word.

That's a damn shame, guess I just have to be happy having a good set.

My AT3s didn't want to balance. Only way I could balance them was balance beads inside the tire. So essentially they balance new every time I reach speed. [emoji52]

I heard the same too.

Do any of you use the brand new spare under the truck and just buy three more like it? Thats what im debating on doing.
In my mind no point waisting a new tire.

They had that huge recall awhile back from blowouts. I believe he's referencing that.

 

[RI Chevy]

The newer ones are probably better. After the big lawsuit.

 

[RI Chevy]

The spare tires are usually a cheaper tire and not exactly like the 4 OEM Tires.
