Discount Tire has been my go-to for several years.
I said pickup but its a 4-Runner (SUV, sort of).
(Same frame and engine as mine so didn't seem like subterfuge)
Anyway, does this change our choice of tire:
34000mi in 4 years on Michelin LTX-MS2's and they are less than minimum tread..
Seems poor to me.
What would I have to sacrifice to get 50000mi in 7 years?
Or is that even possible anymore?
I used to work at Discount Tire (one of my high school jobs). Terra Grapplers were horrible tires. They must have changed something if you got over 50K on them. Surprisingly the Nitto Trail Grapplers were a much better tire even though they were a M/T (louder of course).
I had a set of Yokohama Geolander A/Ts and they were fantastic tires.
I got like 45,000 miles on my Michelin LTXs that came on my 2014 F150. Now I have some cheap Discount Tire brand (Pathfinders I think?). I’ll be interested to see how these do.
Tire Rack ****ed me off.
I needed a tire for my sidecar rig, which uses wheels from a Mini and appropriate car tires.
Ordered online, and made the mistake of saying what the tire was for, and they refused to sell it to me.
So screw ‘em! Amazon is my go-to source now.
Recently put a set of Cooper Discoverer AT3s on the Suburban, from Discount Tire. Made in the USA, still. Price after the rebates was $550 ish. Rebates showed up in a reasonable time, no hassles.
Discount tire is the "don't go" place for me after buying tires a couple times there something got effed up - like only putting 4 of the 5 lug nuts back on. But, thanks to the wheel covers - who is going to know?Discount tire is usually my go to if you have one local.

Take a look at the Yokohama Geolander.
rats, I live in the wrong state; taxes and shippingFree shipping and no taxes depending on what state you are in
One version is for P-rated tires, the more expensive model is the LT-rated truck tires. No need to go LT unless it's on a heavy duty truck or you're towing/hauling a bunch.Two versions. Much difference?

Costco is the same way on tire fitments.Their lawyers probably forced them into that policy.
