you looked at buckshot mudders, ive seen them sold stupid cheap b4
check out discounttiredirect.com
cooper, michelin, dick cepek(not sure on pricing). seems like buckshots are cheapest
found these
Pitbull Growler Tire 32x11.50-16 C
Maxxis Tires
thanks guys for all the help, I am thinking I will go witht he buckshots they are about 125 a piece, has anyone ever bought a set. how do they perform in mud snow and street.
i'v heard they perform fairly well on and off road. try em out and let us know
i think I just might, It maybe a few months till i can get the funds together but i will post a review after I get them.
I had em on my jeep in a 31X10.50. They performed very well. Slight whine on the highway, but not terrible. You may not even notice it in the truck. Offroad they performed decent. They seem to clean out good and not cake up, but don't count on traction in loose moist dirt.
Chains !!!!
On my experience and a lot of brands, only chains kept me going !!!! :(
for $125 a tire new if they hold air and are round you got your moneys worth, some people swear by them, look around you might find them cheaper, good luck
what do you think of some goodyear wrangler mtrs, 5 tires for 300 bucks they are 60-70 % tread. good deal yes or no. or should i just buy the new ones for 125.
do your homework, read some un biased reviews, i will look for the website i found a couple months ago before i bought tires. if you buy the goodyears you will replace them long before you would the buckshots, the brand molded into the tire dosnt mean much to me, dont think twice about running something you dont see every day. its only my opinion but i will never run another goodyear a/t or m/t, but if you can talk the guy down some on the goodyear m/t's its a sweet deal

thanks for all the help. If you dont mind me asking, why wont you buy goodyear anymore? The reviews for the buckshots are really good, the goodyears seem to have some problems, and the reviews say they wear really badly. That one wedsite is great, thanks for showing me that.
i just bought the avalanche in the picture and the dealer put goodyear fortera triple tread severe weather tires on it, they cost around $900 and SUCK on every thing except dry pavement, i have had the truck less than 6 months and the tires are starting to show wear bad, my silverado had goodyear wrangler a/t/s tires on it and they wore funny and fast, and they also sucked, i replaced them with uniroyal liberator a/t's and they were better in 5 min. than the wranglers were all day. dont get me wrong i had goodyear eagle#1 nascar edition tires on my beretta gtz and loved them, no matter what you threw at them they excelled and i would buy them again, but as far as truck tires go i will never buy goodyear tires unless they cost next to nothing. the name is all you are buying
On the reviews most of the goodyear ones say they wouldnt buy them again, i think i will go with the buckshots. one question is there a difference between the mudders and the mudders mtx, google gives me 2 different tires but the treads look the same, also the mtxs are cheaper, so i am just wondering.
there were buckshot mudders before maxxis buckshot mudders
thank you. so i shouldnt worry about buying them.
if you buy brand new go to discount tire! they will bet any price on new tires. plus they have a 100% free replacement warranty that you can buy. That covers the tires if something happens while your tearing it up offroad.
2 questions: one will discount tire match my price that i find for off brand tires like the buckshots, two i found a set of stock chevy rims with 60% tread goodyear Mts, he has 5 wheels and tires for 425 bucks. does that sound like a good deal or should i just but some new tires.
First ?....I dont think so.....Second ? what wheels and what size tires?
Discount claims they can match even off brand tires. I think it depends on the store. just get the new ones. you will pay about the same price anyway.
the wheels are stock 99-02 silverado rims, they are the really common five spoke, they are the ones on my truck now. and the tires are 245/75/16 something like that.
245/75s arnt big enough.....you prolly have 265s on your truck now
i am runnning 265s right now, but i ran that smaller size on my tahoe with out any problems, if discount tire will really match any price i might just go with them.
265 doesnt mean height :sigh: its width
i hate tire talk. o well, i am going to call discount tire and see if they will match the price i found for some buckshots. thanks for all the help.
If you haven't bought tires yet, look up Mud King XT's. They are made by BFG.
Im running mud kings on my truck and for the price, you cant beat them. minimal road noise and they handle great in the mud and snow.I paid $580 for 285/75/16s shipped to my door on summit racing. theyve been on the truck for almost 2 years, and put around 28k miles on them along with a few burnouts, and still have about 50% tread left.
thanks for the advice. but summit raised there prices and they are 180 a piece without shipping. thats just way to much for a set of extra fun tires.
Yeah thats a little pricey. A buddy of mine runs federals, called couragia IIRC and he paid a lot less than I did for mine. They had knobbier tread to but wear slightly faster. Only like 130-140 a piece i believe for 31s.
What size wheel and tires you got on there now?Quote:

So what is the biggest tire you can run on a stock GM 5 spoke wheel? The common 16x7 ones?
265/75s for sure. idk if anything bigger than that will fit.
So I could mount a set of these fine? I was thinking about cranking the front end to level it out, align it and mount these. Maybe do some new shocks too, I don't want too rough of a ride.Quote:

So I'm safe with 285's or should I play it safe and just stick with the 265's?Quote:
