I usually don't cheap out on anything but since they will only run spring summer and fall I'm not too incredibly worried I'm trying to weigh my options here

It has always been a tough pill to swallow for me but I force myself to wait until I have the money to get what I want. Too many times I've spent twice what I would have buying something quick instead of waiting and getting what I really want.

 

If you don't have 2G for good 35's, then don't put the lift on until you have the money for Toyo's, Nittos, or something of the sort. Or if you can run the wheel/tire setup you have now throw the lift on and look goofy for awhile. That's just my $0.02...

I'd look around for a nice used set of Toyo's or Nitto's before running what you have in mind. I've seen them around here for anywhere from $600 - $900 in good shape.

Lifts going on in a week or two and I have 34s for it till I find something I'm still looking

Ill say I had these on my 2008 avalanche and I loved them ran them for 30k and still looked good when I traded it in. They have great customer service too. Retreads have come along way inthe past few years. When people say just look on the road they are wrong, the treads u usally see on the road are from semi trucks and have a big load and a ton of miles on them. I got the kedge grip in my which helps grip on the snow and ice and is worth the extra 40 bucks. There are a lot of reviews of these tires on jeep forums and hardly a bad word said about them. Road noise is the same as any mud terrain. They will be my replacements on my 2012 cc when it comes time. I say go for it! I never had an issue with mine.

I'm seeing good reviews for them on pirate 4x4

There are millions of retreads on the road. I wouldn't be afraid of them. A lot of them advertise better thread wear than oem tires, due to rubber compound differences. I've never looked into them myself, but with a little research it wouldn't be a bad thing.

I'm just tired of everyone saying toyo or nitto I can't afford them if I had the money I'd have a set of toyo open country's but that's just a dream.. So until then I need to improvise

Improvise yourself on over to CL and pick up up a used set of the tires you really want, if you settle you probably won't be satisfied. Hell, I think Frogfish had five 35x12.50 Toyo on here for like $900 awhile back.

I like the looks of these tires. I don't cheap out on tires either but I wouldn't hesitate to buy a retread. Growing up that's all we could afford to get for our cars.

 

Now if you're looking for another option..have you look at Mastercraft tires. They're are the "store band" of Coopers but they are cheaper. I've gotten about 40k miles out of mine and have worn pretty good. Plus they have several kinds (HT, AT) to pick from.

You gotta do what you gotta do sometimes.

Can you save to get the better brand tire?

 

Here in a couple of weeks, I'm getting 33" Toyo MT's.

Waiting on that tax return.

I think I'll go ahead and replace mine soon, I just have a hard time spending $800

 

 

especially on something that wears out quickly

    • If what you are doing works, keep doing it:   4LO (Four-Wheel Drive Low) should only be used in extreme low-speed, high-torque situations such as deep mud, heavy snow, steep rock crawling, or extreme inclines/declines, and you must follow the correct engagement procedure to avoid drivetrain damage. Intended Use Cases Deep mud or snow where traction is extremely poor and you need maximum torque to get unstuck Trucks Only+1. Rock crawling on steep, uneven terrain forum.fullsizechevy.com+1. Extreme inclines or declines where you need to control speed and maintain traction solutionsphere.blog. Heavy towing in low-traction conditions (e.g., deep sand, ice) carclubsusa.com.
    • Hi,   I work a steep boat landing that has patchy blacktop going down the hill and soft sand/gravel at the bottom. Due to low water levels, it's not always possible reach the blacktop. I've had to help several people get out this year already and with fall coming, I'm anticipating more. I always use 4L. There was a gentleman there today with a 2500 HD (actually 2 - him and his son both have them) and they were trying to get his son's wake boat out. This gentleman swears that you should use 4H in the soft gravel. Says he was a farmer and you always use higher gear when stuck. I was wonder what your thoughts on this are? If I'm wrong, it would be good to find out before things get busy.
    • Looking for feedback from users of roll up aluminum slat bed covers who have had it for more than 3 years. I prefer the aluminum slat style over supported vinyl covers due to security and the capacity to support a light load. The slight loss of bed opening when rolled up is not an issue. Presently have BAK Revolver the "industrial grade vinyl overlay" on mine is shrinking & coming loose at the rear and on both sides in addition to cracking at some of the folding joints. Truck lives outdoors in NC latitude. Can't justify the steep price to replace it with another one if that's the expected lifespan. Do you have a better alternative?
    • Thanks, your last sentence is the root of my problem, outdoors truck and southern latitude = UV overload. Looking at replacing with Rough Country powder coated aluminum slat roll up model. 
    • I’m looking at putting a lift in my 2024 gmc sierra 1500 elevation trim, has anyone had any luck with fitting a bigger tire under the rear for a spare?? Was gonna go with a 4 inch zone lift Also what wheel and tire size setup are you all running? Wondering if I can get away with keeping around the stock size a 33 inch, and just get some new wheels to have enough back spacing then I can just keep my original spare tire I have under the truck now.
