Cheap New Tires For Good Off-Road Performance
It is quite costly to maintain a vehicle, whether it’s your personal car, a commercial vehicle, or a 4WD used for off roading. One of the biggest expenses you'll encounter as a vehicle owner is tire replacement. Tires wear out fast with normal on road driving, but when you take your vehicle off road, they can get beat up very fast driving over mud, sand, and rocks.
While the common recommendation is to buy top name brand tires and pay more, it is not feasible for everyone. There are options for buying used off road tires, cheap mud tires, and cheap new tires.
How To Find Cheap New Tires
There are generally two types of tire shoppers; the ones who are preparing for when their tires might fail and the others who's tire have already failed in a blow out for example. These two people will be in very different states of mind when they are shopping. The first person can take their time and research exactly what they want and for the right price. The other will most likely need a tire right away and would be more willing to pay extra for it. You don't want to be in the second situation.
Be prepared and pay attention to your tires and maintenance. If you can buy tires before you actually need them, you'll save a ton of money in the long run.
Shop online regularly for sales and clearance items. Many times tire companies will want to liquidate their inventory in order to bring in new stock. In order to do that, they are willing to sell their tires at a wholesale value which can equal almost 50% off the regular price. Visit several websites and monitor their sales. You can even sign up for their mailing list to get great offers and discounts.
There are cheap new tires on the market, you just have to take your time and conduct research to make sure you get the right ones for your needs.
Recommended Tires
For an all season tire, consider a Mastercraft Avenger GT255/60 R15 102T RWL for around $90 (shipping cost not included). This model offers the following features:
- standard load capacity,
- RWL (raised white letters) sidewall,
- tread life warranty of 50,000 miles,
- speed capacity of up to 118mph/190km/h,
- great look, and
- a design that has a deep tread in the center and shallow tread in the shoulder for improved tread wear and handling.
If you are in search of 4x4 mud tires that are new and relatively inexpensive, then check out the Dayton Timberline AT tires which are good for light off-road driving. You can get them for around $110 each tire (plus shipping). It has heavily siped, mildly aggressive tread design, computer-optimized tread element rendering extended wear, minimized irregular wear and enhanced traction and handling. In general, this is considered an average truck tire for reasonable price with good rugged all-terrain look.
For those traveling in mud terrain, there is a decent truck mud tire for the price. The Mastercraft Courser MT tire is ideal for off-road mud. The price starts at $125. It has high void traction tread, substantial deep shoulder and center lugs that resist abrasion and enhance traction and tread wear, solid blocky tread design, and studdable outer lugs. It is also M&S rated meaning that if your state requires snow tires, you can take the vehicle out on the road without being questioned.
Another truck mud tire that is on the low side when it comes to cost is the Dunlop Tires Radial Mud Rover. It is sold for $155 (shipping charge not included yet). It is designed for ultimate off-road traction performance. It has large voids spaced out enough for self cleaning of mud rims. It also performs well on snow and sand but gives lower traction on wet roads due to the lack of sipes in the lugs. Tread life is better compared to other tires of the same type. It also has better road manners because of the less than moderate noise level produced.
