What are cheap brands of tires that are good for off roading and road use. Looking for something with a aggressive look. I just got some 15*10 black steels. Now I want some 33s to go along.

Thanks!

If you can find them Dayton Timberline MTs are a steal.

Check out Maxxis tires too. You can usually find them and the Dayton's on eBay for a good price.

My vote is for Maxxis tires also. I like the Bighorns the best but I've seen on forums where alot of people also like the Buckshot mudders. Great prices on Ebay and I do know they're looong lasting tires if my husband's work truck is any kind of example.

Thanks guys! I was just looking at the bighorns and buckshots. They look about the same which one is more beefy looking? Anybody have real life pics?

I just had a whole post typed and &^%* Internet Explorer closed down on me, I usually use Firefox :-/
Anyway, do a search at http://images.google.com for "Maxxis Bighorn" and "Maxxis Buckshot" and you'll find lots of pictures. The Bighorns are definitely beefier with more sidewall tread. In 16" wheels they've got the
33.3 x 10.3 (actual) size that I want. But the closest to that in a 15" wheel are 32 x 11.50's. Super Swamper radials also have the 33x10.50 but from the (tons) of researching I've done it seems the Swamper radials don't wear near as well if you do alot of street driving. My husband puts 80k a year on his work truck with Maxxis highway tires & amazingly little wear. I don't know how well their mud tires wear but I would imagine it'd be above average. That seems to be what most say who have them.
Maxxis also has the Trepador radials now in 30.6 x 10.8 (actual size) for $175 each after shipping. I'll post a picture of them. In my opinion those are the coolest looking tires. It'd be worth going to that size for them since I don't need bigger tires anyway. I don't need mud tires either but I like how these look. Still deciding. Here's a pic of the Trepador, it tells about them at http://www.savannajones.com/products/92612_2XX_PG.htm

they look loud

I had a set of mud kings that are really cheap and I got 40,000 out of them on a '95 chevy. 31x10.5 are around 100 bucks I think. They would handle the mud really well. this is what I will be getting when my other tires go south or I just can't handle the at's anymore.

I had the Bighorn's on my Taco for over two years. For an aggressive tread tire they're pretty quite if you keep them rotated. Great off road traction aired down 12-14 PSI. Reasonable tread wear on the road. I'd buy them again.

I've got about 15k on them now. They are wearing fine and really aren't that loud. I'd definitely buy them again, great value.

If you're looking for an A/T and M/T cross that's more of an M/T style, check out the Wild Spirit Radial TXR II's. I got my 285's out the door for $600! They're made in the USA by Multi-Mile. Here are a some pics...

I went with the maxxis bighorns 255/85 16. they were about $640.00 for the set. haven't gotten them on yet. waiting to put my lift on first.

if your in Canada, just go to Canadian Tire, they sell no name, cheap tires that look more expensive. as for the states, walmart anyone?

I priced Wally World and they're not that much cheaper, if any. Hunt down a good locally owned tire shop and negotiate prices with them. The one I got my Wild Spirits from originally wanted $700 OTD and got them down to $600. And, I've heard too many horror stories about the "techs" at WalMart screwing things up!

did you really get about 40,000 miles out of the mud king XT tires. a buddy of mine just put some 31 x 10.5 on his '88 wrangler. they perform real well.
