I am not a big fan of cheap tires but wanted to see what advice could be given as to tires for a truck that gets driven MAYBE 1500 miles per year. It is a 2000 Chevy S10 2WD with the 4.3L if that matters. I want a good and SAFE tire but realize it will expire due to age and not tread wear. The re…

See what’s available at a local auto recycler.

That was the first thing I did. They basically said that my size tire or any commonly put on small trucks like my S-10 or Rangers are gone pretty much as soon as they arrive because they are so popular.

I called a tire store and he suggested a model of Hankook AT tires for about $100. This isn’t a huge hurry as I don’t count on this truck as a daily driver but won’t be using it much or at all until new tires are installed based on their condition.

Same thing happened to me with my previous F-150. About three years after I bought it (2005 I think), the tires it came with after I bought were shot. I bought a set of BF Goodrich A/T KO’s as they have a good combination of on-road/off-road and snow capabilities and Costco was running a $70 off sa…

Yeah, I agree. I am thinking about just getting 4 new ones at this point and keeping the rears as spares. I realize dthat I have a couple rims with no tires on them as well so would just put the new ones on those and keep the rears as they are for spares. I agree that cheap tires are a no-go. I …

What about purchasing three tires of the same brand and model of the rears? Whatever you decide, the tires with the best traction go on the rear. Understeer is a lot safer than oversteer that may result in a spin.

just looked up on https://www.discounttiredirect.com for starters, they list a reasonable ones for $60 plus rebate: https://www.discounttiredirect.com/buy-tires/hankook-optimo-h724/p/10983 I purchased my truck tires there, was quite happy with price/selection/service another one where I bought be…

I like the look of those Hankooks but was wondering about the iPike series. It is a little more but this truck is mainly being used for camping and transporting kayaks as of now. I was actually thinking about selling it as it was used so rarely but my GF and I have been getting out a lot lately an…

I’d suggest just talking to a real tire dealer that sells all brands to see what they suggest. Our local Goodyear dealer does that. Like I said before, I needed tires that would maybe last for a year or so before I retired and replaced the car. The Goodyear dealer got some no name tires that were…

Maybe a Fleet Farm, Farm and Fleet, or the like is worth a look. I’d also see what CR and tirerack have to say about tire characteristics and prices.
