Chinese Tires?

anyone running any? I run Nitto tires myself but my boss just bought these for his Jeep. Very good looking tire for the money. these were half the price of other mud tires in the same size. these are 35/12.50/18". believe it or not they are pretty quiet on the highway too. I was shocked.

 

I've learned on the 30 years of time I've spent on this Earth that you get what you pay for, hopefully they do him well.

 

They look like Cooper knockoffs

 

I know cheap motorcycle tires aren’t good. I’d assume the same for my four wheel vehicles

 

Look at the auttro mud terrains. Few buddy’s run them and have no complaints. A set of 33’s for 22’s on my old Cummins were 1000$ a set

 

yea he got these for a song compared to the Ridge Grapplers he put on his truck. but even these in the size I run are more than what I can get Nittos for. I plan to stick with Nitto or might try Duratracs for my next set. I just wondering what you guys thought about them? if y'all had any experience with them? they are popular in our area on a bunch of lifted Jeeps and Tacos and T4Rs.

 

Only a certain amount of factories in the world probably that can manufacture large mud tires. I'm sure these are the same factories running the brand names during working hours - these are the after hours and weekend runs on the same production equipment based probably on the designs they steal from name brands. It's easy to sell stuff cheap when the engineering is done for you and you leverage others' purchasing power for materials. Damn engineering, material science, analysis, modeling, etc. is expensive.

Looks like the real thing, probably same materials. They still have to meet standards to be legally sold in US, so probably ok.

 

Kinda like wheels. Had some issues with my hostile few years ago. Finish was wavy. Talked to the top dog about swapping them out locally. Got to talking a bit more and he told me American force wheels are made in the same factory as cheap ass Moto metals. Wheels tires prob all produced by a few large name brand companies

 

true. and good points. he isn't worried about these, he digs them. I dig em too honestly. but I can get name brand tires in my size for about the same money. less actually if I shop around and wait for specials. but, if these were $50-$60 cheaper a piece, id give them a shot.
