Default Fairly cheap tires?

Came home from work. Went to move my other vehicle around and notice the truck tire is flat. Going to use the spares tire on the rims for now. But need to get all 4. What are fairly cheap tires?

Could you tell us what kind of tires you are looking for? This might help refine the suggestions.

Just basic tires really. Might see some gravel from time to time or dirt. But not hard core.

Check out Treaddepot, Tirerack, or Discounttiredirect. Com. Put in your tire size and you'll get an idea on prices. The lowest that I saw was a Cooper tire for $113.

Fix the tire with a simple plug and save up money to get some better quality tires..it seems like you don't need anything too aggressive from your description but still you can get a higher quality street tire. You get what you pay for..something I've learned in life! With the exception of amazon.com...there deals are just too good

If the sidewall wasn't the problem area I would throw a plug in it. It dry rotted through.

What site did you see that on?

Going tomorrow to a little shop near by that sells nice used tires so I'm told. Going to see if I can't find anything worth the time and money. All this truck is used for is my daily driver to work and to go cruising. Maybe some hauling every now and again. Goes down some gravel or dirt roads sometimes. Now if I had a 4x4, that would be a different story lmao.

Try some Hankook Dynapros. At discount tire they consider them a house brand. I paid something like $95/tire. For an AT tire they're pretty smooth on the asphalt.

Tirecrawler is a great site, I have used them twice now, for my toyos and my wifes car which now has toyos.

Might be japanese but both sets I got were made right here in the Georgia, US plant..

Are you looking for the ST size or SLT size? 245 vs 265


here's some coopers at tirecrawler, but check to see the other places might offer free shipping, or cheaper shipping.

Remember to not be to frugal when purchasing tires, I know in this economy money is tight, but tires are VERY important. TreadDepot is a great site as others have stated, but I wouldnt go getting a pair of used tires when you can possibly get a pair of good quality low cost new tires for 90-$110 per tire...plus mounting/balancing/aligning.
