Got new tires finally

I got some new tires. They aren't any namebrand or anything but they ride good and look good and aren't too loud. I couldn't get my pics uploaded but here is a link to a little temporary site i made. http://bama.ua.edu/~benso016/pic.htm[/URL]

I'd definitely buy those, I really like them. What brand are they? I wonder if I could find them here locally.

True but mine didn't spend the first 100 miles of their life on some high school boy's wanna be a baller truck.... The brand name is savareo or something like that i'm not sure how it's spelled but at that price I can have two sets of anything else. The tread pattern kinda reminds me of the dueler m/t. And like I said my friend had some similiar to it on his pathfinder that lasted for about 4 years or more. But I took my dad's truck to get some tires at the shop and looked at these and for the price i couldn't beat it. 390 out the door was it. Heck for that amount of money i can buy a spare too eventually. or 2 in a half sets of bfg m/t, but i figured save the money and spend it on something else. I'm hoping that when I get home for spring break next week i'll get to go camping and see how well they sling stuff around on the trails.

i agree, the price was awesome, and if they last as long as your friends did, then whooooraaaaa, but on the other hand, i also feel that you get what you pay for, i even looked at some retreads, heck they are only about $50-60 thats look like the BFG MT`s (i thought hard about them) anyways, im always looking for a deal, just with tires, i wanted a "trusted" name, my kids are going to be in the runner, i would NEVER risk them, to save a few bucks. if ya know of anynore deals please kepp posting them.

yeah i wouldn't have gone with an off brand if I didn't know a little about them. not only did my friend have them but my brother has a rebuilt tacoma and the guy that did it is an awesome dude if either one of us ever has any trouble he'll help us out at his cost, and he said he gets tires from t his guy and that he won't do us wrong.

Very rarely will you see a new tire blow or go bad because of a brand name.. As far as my family being in the truck?? Hell, It is just a flat.. even at highway speeds, it you lose control of you car because of a flat you have other problems..

Re-treads?? I still think they are a good choice, Yes I have reservations.. But I think they would be a good choice.
