My pick up truck tire question, who has used Futura tires?

[look 171]

From Pep Boys. They are running a sale 4 tires for under 400 bucks. Typ load range E. what do you guys think. I am currently running BFG's commercial TA and they wore like iron. These should be OK? They should be Safe?

Get a road warranty. Cheap tires are cheap tires.

I've been running Generals for years. Similar to BFG's at a much better price...

I wouldn't put E tires on unless I knew I needed them.

Not sure what truck you have but I ran firestone destination LE tires on my tundra for most of the time I had it and loved them.

I don't need all terrane, off road tire. A comfortable (like if there are such thing on 3/4 ton truck) and safe tire.

ah, back to E!

Have a look at Kuhmos?

[speeder]

Yeah, a Tundra is a 1/2 ton truck and does not run E tires. Different animal.

I try to save $$ where I can but don't use cheap tires on anything. It gets tricky because sometimes off-brand tires are good tires just rebranded but not always. In the last year, I've bought a set of Michelins for one truck and a set of General A/Ts for another, both good tires. I got a good deal on both, the Michelins were on sale on Tirerack and the Generals I get a good price locally on.

I can get the Generals for you installed for $600 out-the-door in 265/75 16s 10-ply in Hollywood, let me know.

Thanks Dennis. Taking the kids camping this weekend and hauling everyone's stuff and I don't want to take a chance with old worn tires because it may rain on me. Power slide is not too much fun. I need 235 85 16s Where in Hollywood? Working on a home a couple of blocks from the Greek theater.

$600 installed is a good price I forget what I paid, I usually use the brothers over at Western Tire in Burbank..... Western Tire of Burbank | Burbank CA Tires & Auto Repair Shop

America's Tire Depot on Hollywood Blvd. 2 blocks w of Normandie, talk to John and tell him I sent you. It's really in Thai town/little Armenia, very close to Los Feliz and Greek theatre.

Their number is (323) 661-8473

They are one of the best tire shops I've ever found, I trust them w nice rims, not lifting vehicles in wrong spots, torquing lugnuts, etc., etc.

Also, (almost forgot), 235/85 16 is OG size on my F-250 but I run 265/75s because they are identical diameter and not too wide, (about 9.25"). Good luck!

Thank you. Had no idea about the similar size between the two.
