Tires for your Taco

Alright guys bought a set of off brand M/T from a company called road warrior. What you guys think? Big mistake? American brand manufactured in China

 

Welcome to TW. Why ask if you have already purchased?

Slightly older article, but may be worth a read about Chinese tires:

Thanks crash. Actually have read the article and it's basically knocking the actual Chinese Brands not so much american brands outsourcing . . Did the research on this particular tire and literally no one is running them so there are no reviews either way. There warenteend 1 year 50,000 miles. The company is well known for its tires for heavy equipment. I'm for sure skeptical but we'll see

 

I do a lot of highway driving so I went for a reputable brand. If I just did around townoon driving I wouldn't sweat it as much. Big difference between a tire failure at 85 and at 40

 

Never buy Chineese tires, Goodyear and Sears has some brands and models made in China, Will Blow out on Hwy!!!! Stay in Deserts and sand dunes only !

 

Sounds like it would be a good idea to post a review on it then after you have run them for a while. Make sure to use a non-generic thread title (unlike this thread) with the make and model of the tire and your thoughts with pics.

 

So I bought my truck used off a kid who replaced the tires with brand new off brand eco saver Chinese tires. I've put about 2,000 miles on the truck so far and they're already wearing super uneven in the front. Grip is surprisingly not horrible (On road). This is coming from a guy who has owned plenty of trucks with a wide range of reputable tires and brands.

Buy name brand tires.

 

Ya crash for sure gonna be putting up a review. The tires were still about 170 a piece so there definitely weren't dirt cheap. Haven't even mounted them yet so I'm almost debating if I should run them at all or just get my money back and go with a well known brand. Decisions decisions

"Truck yeah" defiantly keeping that in mind. In hindsight probably just should have gone with some ko2s. This company guarantees there product so if they start to wear all funky after a few thousand miles for sure getting my money back.

 

I had a set of no name mudders on my taco the first couple years and there was no issues and they performed great. I wouldn't worry bout them

 

And this prompted you to get them ?
Cool, looking forward to your review shortly !

 

If you want the best road tires get Michelin tires , LTX, they last 100,000 miles,
I'm on my 3rd set

 

I got these duratracs for $176/tire. 31x10.5x15. They are stamped made in Canada right on the sidewall.

 

I'll just stick with BFG's. Not everything in life should be a price point purchase

 

Most all tires are made in China and the Southeast Asia Countries Along with most everything else.

As the several thousand new laws and taxes force manufacturing over seas

 

Someone has to be the guinea pig, right? Hope they work out for you.
