I cant realy afford the top of the line tires so im gonna be buying some from a companey call tirewright. they sell retreaded off road tires. what is the biggest tire you guys think i can go without raising my 2003 dodge dakota sxt. i was looking at 265/75/16 but do you think i can go a little bigger at all. i am willing to go any size even if i have to cvut my fender flares. just let me know what you guys think.

 

DO NOT BUY RETREADED TIRES ESPECIALLY FROM TIREWRIGHT/TREADWRIGHT.

I purchased a set of 285/75/16 in the warden A/T tread a few months back just to test them out and see how decent they could be considering they were only 100 per tire. Worst decision I made all year.

-The casings they gave me were over 5 years old

-Everyone says you can't tell they are retreads, well when you get them you can completely see on the sidewall where the cap they re-glued on is set to.

-When they were mounted on my rims and pressurized up to 40psi the cap actually started coming off of the sidewall where the glue was. There was a real hole on the casing directly underneath the thin cap.

With shipping I spent a total of $530 for tires (without mount and balance). After sending them back and getting a full refund wasting 2 weeks worth of my time, I went out and got a brand new set of toyo open country all terrains for $526 mounted and balanced. Don't cheap out when going for tires. If you were to run the retreaded tires and you're driving down the highway at 70+ mph and the cap starts coming off you're gonna be wishing you spent the extra money on a real tire.

 

If your truck was a woods beater I would say yeah they will work out but for dd do not get them. Guys on jeep forum say they are great if you want a cheap tire for your woods vehicle but not on road use. Go on to ebay,craigslist and look for used tires im sure you can find stock tires for your truck. I can get bfg at's for 575.00 and I can mount and balance them for free.

 

x2. if they blow out on the highway its really not worth the money saved.

i think bfg's normaly go for $800+. if you want a more reasonable price check out the brand general. i just got a set of 31x10.5 at tire from them for $500.

 

I found them online for 160 a piece and free shipping!! I have other connections and can get them for 140 a piece then at votech I can get them mounted and balanced for free so its a really good deal for me

 

We sell a lot of the General Grabber AT2's. Not a complaint yet. My boss even keeps them on his truck. Nice tire for the money. Why not look at them?

 

agreed.

I paid like $125 each for my Firestone Destination A/T's, 265/70-16. Completely worth it. The AT2's are right up there as well.
