Those are made here at the Buffalo dunlop-goodyear plant...they have them on display in the lobby , I was considering them for my jeep before its demise. there's another brandname with the same exact tread they make that starts with a C I believe..

 

I"m going to hijack this thread here just for a second.

I'm not saying that it's a greedy thing. It might be, but work for the silly bastards sometime and you'll understand. Then, take a look at what other big companies give their employees as a discount. Not naming names here, but I do know of another fairly large store that practically sells their products to their employees at 10% above cost.

You can call me greedy all you like, but work for a company that thinks you are nothing more than a hired slave, put up with their political BS, and then tell me what you think is fair and/or not fair.

Now, if you want to talk to me about this more, take it to PMs, and keep it out of here. I don't know what your issue is with me, but I won't tolerate little jabs in the open forum.

Now, back on topic!

 

Wasn't ment as a jab. No need to get hostile. Was just implying that walmart is in it for profit just like everyone else.

 

I had a set of liverator at's on my truck when i bought it and they had about 50k miles according to paperwork and still had some tread left on 2 tires. They also road better than the bfg all-terrains but as a rule i would not buy tires from walmart myself

 

Laramie, that is a classic pic of a tire run too long while over-inflated. I will agree that it looks like a ton of wear for 15,000 miles (or however much it was), but it also looks like it had too much pressure for most of its life.

Those new tires you have though look like a really nice AT. You like 'em?

 

You have that correct. I ran those tires just like I have always ran my previous tires. The Max pressure as listed on the side of the tire. Never had a set wear like that.
On that last pic, those tires had 18,500K on them.

I do like my new set. The main thing I never liked about AT tires is the fact that they are really bad about grabbing rocks and chucking them. Being that I live on a property that has about a 1 mile long gravel drive, I wasn't looking forward to listening to rocks chip my body paint.
These tires don't seem to pick up little rocks like most other AT tires I've seen.
So far, I'd rate their performance at a 9/10. Considering mud and rain. Rain is where they slop down a bit. They are really easy to break loose on damp pavement. On mud, they clean very well, I've noticed that I'm not using 4x4 near as much as I used to in the fields.

We are just now starting to cool down here, so we haven't gotten a nice fall of snow to test in. I wont consider ice as a test just for the fact that there really isn't any rubber that does well on ice. I'll keep my new skins thread updated.

Oh, New tires are rated at 85PSI, and I'm running them at 60. 10PSI above Dodge's recommendation.

 

I just spent the money and got a set of these put on my truck:

It might be that I grew up pulling trailers and using trucks for what they are made for, but I dont skimp on good tires. I got mine in 285/70/R17 and the only complaint I have about them is that they are D rated tires. I get back down in the lower 48, my truck will only run E rated tires. This is one of those times when you really got to ask yourself.....Why are these Wal-Mart tires so much cheaper?

 

google the remington 710 and you'll se why they almost bankrupt remington....remington pulled the gun off the market it was such a piece of garbage. Despite walmarts wishes.

 

Which is why I choice not to shop at walmart.

 

Walmart posted a profit margin of 3.5% as of 3 years ago the last I could find, and you guys are complaining about 20% ? Sounds like you were getting the better deal.
