Any good deals lately on brand new tires upcoming in May that is cheap? Im looking to put 31s on my jeep, but i dont want to spend 300$ per tires. I rather spend at least 500-600 for all 4? Any good brands that have that offroad tread that also gets good mileage???

I bought MasterCraft's got mine for 622 mounted and balanced. I got them at cost since my gf manages a tire shop but I thing retail they would be less than 800. Been a damn good tire no road noise and pretty good off road.

The mastercrafts are about as cheap a new tire u are going to find, but it you don't mind a retread, you can get treadwright gaurddogs for 105 per tire, or 420 for 4. People say they hold up very well, and work great off-road. I will prolly get a set when my bfg atswear out.

Just look up 31/10.5/r what ever your rim size is in Google and then go to "Shopping" it'll list a whole bunch of tires for cheap, and if all else fails TREADWRIGHT!

I've got the Firestone Destination ATs on my XJ. Love the way they look, and they do well off road. They also don't float nearly as bad on wet roads as the BFG AT I used to have. I have got the 235/75-15s (roughly 30x9.5) for $620 out the door. Very happy with them!

They are a 10 ply tire.
For an A/T they have substantial lugs
They have lots of siping for snow capabilities. Seriously badass in snow!!
Relatively quite
I've got 37,XXX on mine and I plan on running them for their 3rd winter when it gets here.

I am contemplating getting a set of Dunlop radial mud rovers. I have heard that they preform really well and are around $150 per tire at tirerack.com. I will give them a shot if my jeep stays my DD, but going bigger if I get a motorcycle to drive to work and stuff.

I thinking this may be a good tire for me. It has that look i want, and i can save on gas rather than a higher grade of tread. http://www.tirerack.com/tires/tires....TOWL&tab=Sizes
