superswamper LTB  cheap and work awsome and pretty quite on the street

I had a set of High Tec's OTR Muds on my wife's 03 Grand Vitara. They had the green diamonds for increased winter traction. We liked their performance...aside from the fact that they were as loud as Boggers on the road...but hated the customer service and problems we had with the tires. First it took over a month to get our tires. Then after we finally got them one fell apart after less than 400 miles. After more stupidity and BS they sent me a new replacement tire pretty fast. Fast forward most of a year and I realize two of the four road tires have portions where the tread seems to be loose of the sidewall. It took two emails and a phone call before I got a response and was then told to call back in a few weeks. A few weeks later I called again and was told they wouldn't be making our size in the MT anymore so I was SOL unless I wanted the AT pattern.
Considering the crappy service thus far I told the guy off and hung up.

About 2 weeks later my wife was involved in an accident and the vehicle was totaled. I didn't bother getting the tires off of it.

I found a deal on some new Kumho MT's on Ebay for even less than the HighTec's cost me a year before and siped them myself. I'm aware of their shortcomings but so far they're doing great under the wife's DD.

From these experiences I recommend people to avoid HighTec. If I could do it over again I'd have bought new tires somewhere else, even paying retail locally.

ive had problems with the retreads too, on an f150.....one came apart, and eventually they replaced it, but it was the worst customer service i have ever experienced 

when the seperation of your tires occured, what was the psi that you were running in them?? the reason i ask this is because on the website, they stearnly warn about not running enough psi in them, the tire will actually melt the vulcanized rubber holding them all together, and the tire will seperate from the carcass....by the way...it only took about a week and a half or so to get my tires at my house up here in BFE country, mi

ive heard a bunch of horror stories on them too /\

thats why i changed my mind about ordering them and just bought some used tires to hold me over til I get some more cash for 30"s or 31"s to replace the 235/75/R15's.

wow....my brother swears by these tires, he has a 1996 ford ranger with a procomp 6" lift, and a 302.....he runs some 35's from high tec retreading, and this is his third or forth set that he is on now....the truck has been goin since 99 or so with these tires and the lift.....my brother is the reason that i went with the retreads, because he has had such great luck with them....the only complaint that he has ever had was that he was doing a bigass burnout and a corner lug got ripped off, but he was in 4th with the 302 pinned out...so im sure it was due to EXCESSIVE TIRESPIN.....but...i guess its like the saying goes.....opinions are like |removethispart|@$$holes....everyones got one.......some smell funny, thou.....

i am driving to college everyday and am tires of the A/T getting stuck in the mud.  i need mud tires that will last long and keep tread.  does any one have any idea/experience.  wuts the best tire for the sidekick?
thanks

I just put 31" MT on my Toy p'up from Pep Boys.  Very aggressive lugs with siping  which are good for wet roads.  Don't buy a MT for road use without siping in the lugs, as they skid too easy.  They also have nice sidewall lugs, and are very quite (for a MT) on the road.  Plus, they are made by Cooper so it's not really off, off brand.

They were $99 a tire, with a Buy3get1 free rebate to boot.  That's $298 for 4 tires, new.  Great deal, and can't speak highly enuff of them.  Just wish they made 33's and 35's

wow LTB's up here in montreal $225 each installed 31x10.5x15
I got some cavalier MUD KINGS 32x11.5x15 $775 tax and instalation included should be fine

i had some cooper retread snow tires on my 2wd f-100,  they were quite big lugs, but can't remember thier name for them.  $65 a pop, and worked great in snow and mud....  hard packed snow and ice wasn't as good.  i've never had trouble with thier retreads though,  and that's all i run in the winter.

i plan to get a set of the coopers for my asuna sunrunner ( what kinda name is that eh) once i get it running good enough

old saying you get what you pay for...  I'll stick with bfgs. they stad behind there tire with no hassles.

what about the old saying "your paying for the name"?? i was just budgeting......and trying to share my experiences.....i wasnt out to pay as much as i paid for my tracker, for just 1 damn tire....and for some cheap retreads, im very happy with them.....thats all im saying......i think some of you guys are crazy when ya spend houndreds per tire....considering i have $500 into my tracker all together

wasn't trying to be personal about anything. the guy was just asking opinions. just like ford , chevy , zuk , everybody has there own preference. it helps to have a friend that owns a tire store, that way you get them at his cost

I had a great experience with the 31" Maxxis Buckshots... $125 a tire I here. I am now rocking 33" Big O XT's!!! Talking about a pricey tire!!!

a few years ago at moab I gashed a sidewall on my bfgs. they have a 40' trailer at the jeep safari. set-up with tire machines and spin balancers. they replaced it for 40 bucks. and they knew how i gashed it , no questions asked.
he said must have hit something on the road huh!!!  thats why i've been running them since.

I bought the tires from Pep Boys also. They are called Definity M/T. I got the 235/75/15 tires for $300 . They had a buy 4 and get 1 free deal going on at the time. I was told that these tires were made by Kuhmo. Been on since October and show no signs of wear. This is a daily driver .
