Got some heat on running milestone Patagonia mt/s when I lifted my 2019. Users didn’t like that I didn’t spend 2k on tires. To me these were affordable and fit by budget of 37-13.5-20s in the 1k price range.

These pics are after 15k miles. (I rotate every oil change, 5k)  they are wearing great with zero cupping or chopping and should have another 15k left. Anyone daily driving a T1 with 37’s should get that 30k out of your cheap tires is an accomplishment

Tires should last more than 30k miles.

I got just shy of 60k miles from my Nitto trail grapplers on my last 1/2 ton and still had some life left in them, and 50k miles on my F250 before that.

 

Cheaper upfront does not necessarily equal cheaper in the long run. 

Run what you want, i have zero issue with it, and i suspect most people don't either.

 

I prefer tires and brands that are known to put out quality product, not a small brand i've never heard of that may have weak side walls, known for separation issues, short tread life, etc.  Little bit upfront to not worry about the unknown is worth it to me.

I hear ya. To each their own. Just wanted to throw it out there for anyone looking. The tires don’t have wear issues and balanced out great. Maybe they’ll make it past 30k maybe not but for 50% the cost of a name brand tire I’ve got no complaints.

I don't fault anyone for making budget conscious decisions by any means, but if you're saying these were 50% the cost of a good name brand tire that lasts 60k miles, and they will only maybe last 30k miles, you're not coming out ahead because you are buying tires twice as often as those with name brand tires. Yeah, cheaper per purchase, but the final incurred cost is the same. I guess my point is it may be a gamble on a lesser known brand, for not much financial savings. Looks like those are holding up pretty well though.


To each their own though, no doubt. My suggestion for those looking to save on tires, is to watch tirerack or similar retailers for closeout deals. You can get some good rubber for a steal in some cases.

That size tire in just about any brand isn't going to last very long. Even if you bought some 37's from Toyo, Nitto or BFG, they just won't last much past 30-40k miles. They are too soft and you'd have to be a pavement queen with a grandma like driving habit to not make them scrub away. Those big suckers past 50% tread can be dicey in the heavy rain, it's just a huge block pushing through water/snow instead of smaller tire that cuts through it.

Sounds like you drive like my 84 year old mother.  My OEM Goodyear DuraTrac's are near bald and need replacing at 22k miles.  I've run BTF ATs for decades and have NEVER gotten 25k out of a set.  Granted, I drive in a more spirited manner than most.

Mud tires have no mileage warranty as they are made for off road use. Milestar makes good tires I work at a tire shop and we sell a lot of them especially there all terrain tires the Patagonia ATR. Mastercraft AXT was a good tire sold lots of them. the new AXT2 is ugly and way more mild then the original everyone who sees it doesn’t really like it.

Your mom drives like an **** too? ?

 

I ran BFG AT's once, lasted 30k miles...Crap tire.

KM2's lasted about 400 miles before I blew out sidewalls in the rocks.

 

Trail grapplers I've had great luck with for trucks and rock crawlers, much better than any other tire I've run on my vehicles.

      2015 Sierra Denali L86 cyl 5 misfire at idle

      By Gkistler · Posted

      Hi friends - first time poster. I have a 2015 sierra Denali with 150k miles, I’m the second owner and she’s given me 75k of great service. I run a pulse AFM disable device. Starting Thursday when I exited the freeway after a short local ride it started idling rough, with an obvious misfire shake and was down on low end power.  I got it home and hooked it up to my scannner and found no codes but in live data a pretty bad misfire on cylinder 5. I replaced the coil, plug and wire with all new OE replacements (Delphi gn10165 coil, acdelco wire and 41-168 plug). It’s still behaving the same way after firing the parts cannon at it.   I know cyl 5 is a non AFM cylinder so I am not thinking this is AFM related but I’m kinda at a loss. injector? Bent pushrod? It’s running too well over 1k rpm to suggest those IMO. Has anyone chase this issue before and what was it? Any suggestions?

      Pulsating Noise 4Cyl Mode

      By zibzer2 · Posted

      2017 Silverado L83 5.3l 6speed transmission Hello, not a new member but havent posted in a while and my old signup info isnt working so had to create a new account. anyways, I have an issue with my truck and hope someone can spread some light on whats happening: -when it goes to 4cyl mode it makes a clunk sound (but not when coasting or going downhill) -when in 4 cyl mode and under load it makes a load pulsating sound (not a tick). -goes away completely when in M5 gear or when plugging in an AFM delete. Im guessing it is one of 2 things but im not convinced of either to be honest. 1. lifter stuck in v8 mode 2. torque converter shudder realistically it doesn't seem like the TC as there is no physical vibration , and it never happens in v8 mode. but maybe? and wouldnt a lifter make a sound whether with load or not? any ideas let me know please. thank you!

      Some Assembly is Required

      By Chuck FB · Posted

      Which has made me wonder with the various engine failures of a few brands in the last few years, is it sub par materials such as lifters etc causing failures, or bearing clearances on the crank etc or perhaps bad designing of an engine physically or causing too much load on the components due to the hp/torque they can push out of them. Or is the oil viscosity and additive package of current oils or a lack of oil flow by an oil pump not able to supply sufficient oil at idle or under high load at low rpm. Or is it every item I listed that combined together has pushed the limits so far to the left that there is hardly a margin of safety left and add in some fuel dilution and too long of an OCI and premature engine failure is the result ?.

      He is not saying that an SAE *W20 will have more viscosity than a *W40 due to MORE VII polymers. He is saying that although multiple *W40 may post in the PDS the same or similar 100 C and 150 C viscosities that the blenders choice of modifier TYPE and AMOUNT to get his chosen base to grade will not give identical real world viscosities in shear and at temperature. All will pass the SII test but not all will pass the 100 C HTHS (unpublished value) testing the blender does and relies on to get the required by law "percentage improvement' referenced to his last great work.    Tis the problem with the lie. Once told others are required to support it.

      Parking Brake - Automatic Engagement Questions

      By PunchT37 · Posted

      I have a `25, 1500 that auto sets on incline. Never knew that at first. I have the electronic shifter. Just think if it didn`t do that? Unlike a mechanical shift that you can muscle out of park, how would you get this thing out? That would be a problem.   What I found out later is, I don`t have to push the button to release. Just put it in gear.   Setting parameters? Don`t know if it`s possible.
