Tires...

tjjeepjeep · 11-14-2010, 11:57 AM

So my brother in law is looking for a decent yet inexpensive set of tires of his truck. Figured I'd toss it here to see what you guys think. He'd heard of a brand called Mastercraft. Anyone have any experience with it (good or bad)?? If not anyone have any suggestions? He's needing 245 75R 16 AT and would like to keep it around $500.. Thanks everyone!

I know alot of people don't trust retreads but I have owned a few sets and I have a few buddy's that are currently running them and love them . Have him look at www.treadwright.com

A buddy's got 4 31" MT's shipped to his door for $400.00

Mastercraft is some ones house brand but not sure who makes them. $500 for a set of truck tires is hard to do. The Timberlines are decent for the money. Sumeral's house brand isn't bad either and usually reasonably priced. Like everything else, you pay for what you get.

There are a lot of Mastercrafts running around here, and most of our shop trucks have them (but have no idea how they would hold up in the real world because these trucks rarely go outside of a 5 mile radius).

Try Gateway tire on Cresentville @ 747. i just put a set of 285/75/16's Yokahama's on my truck for $650. He should be able to find something in his smaller size for around $500.
