I have a lot road trips I will be going on in the future and I dont want to put a lot of wasted miles on my aggressive tires. I am looking for suggestions for a "cheap" all-terrain that I can run on the road and also when the snow hits. I am going to be putting them on my stock 18's that I took off when I got my new wheels.

The problem is I haven't found anything cheap in a 35x12.50-18. I would also have to buy wheel spacers to run the stock wheels. Its almost to the point where it would be cheaper to buy a set of 16 or 17 inch wheels and get tires for those wheel sizes. I am willing to go used too, but would definitely have to change wheels sizes because used 35's that fit 18" rims are impossible to find.

By cheap I am talking less than $230 a tire...saw some 35x12.50-16's for $215 a tire new.

 

To bad you don't have 16s. I'd sell you my Goodyear SRAs with only 18K on them. CHEAP.

 

if cheap enough i was going to buy a cheap wheel in a smaller size....crager soft 8's or something like it.

 

Great tire for the money. I know a lot of people running them, including my father, and they all love them.

 

I have 35x12.50R18 mud grapplers. If I would have got the same tires for 15" instead I could have bought wheels and tires for the cost I payed for just wheels. Which I don't get cause I bought less material. Does it really cost that much more to cut a larger hole?


Unless you love 18s, I would look at going to a smaller wheel like maybe a 16.

 

Hankook ATM RF10 is a GREAT A/T tire for the money. You will have to check on the price, but they have a 325/65-18. For comparison, I just hooked a friend of mine up with a set of 31x10.50-15's for $525 including mounting, balancing, and tax. Good luck.

 

CHECK OUT HERCULES TIRES. WE USE THEM ON OLD CREWCAB TRUCKS ON THE RIGHT-OF-WAYS[NASTY STUFF] . TUFF AS NAILS AND GOOD TRACTION. AND THEY WEAR VERY GOOD ON THE HIGHWAY. ONLY DOWNFALL IS THEY ARE MADE IN CHINA.
