I’ll buy 5 tires lickety-split. TireRack has 2 tires that seem suitable to my demands (ahem): Kumho Solus TA11 and Hankook Kinergy ST. Consumer Reports gives the former a 61 (the top-rated tire gets a 70, so 61’s in the recommended tranche), doesn’t rate the Hankook. '87 Toyota pickup, 2WD, long-…

No more than you drive the weather will get them before the tread is gone. I would just get the cheapest tires I could find locally .

Tire Rack seems to give it a good review, should do the job just fine, my parents now just get whatever Costco has for a good price.

Several years ago I brought a used car that had some version of Kumho Solus tires. I found them unremarkable. Not good, not bad. For the way you drive I would visit the local tire shop and get 4 of the least expensive tires they have.

[image] RandomTroll: 195/75R14 Is that the size recommended on the sticker in the door jamb or owners manual? (Don’t blindly follow the size on its present tires.) There may be more choices if you go up and down a bit. Say, 205 or 185 instead of 195, or 70 or 80 instead of 75. Some might ha…

I agree with the others. A seldom-used pickup that doesn’t get driven in snow or used for off-road adventures can easily get away with cheapo tires. I had the cheapest tires I could find on my '88 because it rarely even got driven in the rain, much less snow or dirt. I knew they’d age out long befor…

You might want to look into a used tire place. I ended up with mud grips on my old toypta truck.Worked out well as I could spin regular tires with ease on a rain soaked street.

I am going to go against the grain. I wouldn’t buy by price alone. You may not drive the truck much, but when you do, the tires are your only connection to the earth.

I agree, I might buy lower price tires, but not lowest price tires. Those Kumhos are the kind I might get, instead of the cheapest never-heard-of-them-before tires.

I put some house brand tires on an GMC Sonoma that I did not drive much . They were just fine and did not cost much at all .

When we had a Mazda with 13" wheels we just went to discount tire and picked up what they had in all season tires with a decent warranty.

Wife’s Sonata came with those tires. The car had 20K Miles when we bought it. I have replaced them with the same and they work fine. Nothing special. We are in southern CA so can’t comment on snow/rain performance.
