So I bought Chinese Tires

[Chris]

Now that it’s been about a year can you give an update on how you like them and how they are holding up?

X2!

Really like them. Put on a little over 10k miles and use it as my daily. I prefer these tires over the duratracs actually. Never any handling problems. I rotate the spare and still have tons of tread left. The only negative is that I have to have them rebalanced every 6000 miles but I got them the warranty at discount tire for $25 a tire and it’s free lifetime rebalancing

I’ve been thinking of selling my Duratracs to get mudtires but we do take long interstate trips so I’m a little concerned about the noise. I’m happy with the Duratracs, they aren’t very loud. I know it’s been a year or so since you were riding on a different tire and you mentioned these new tires sound kind of like a turbo spinning down. What do you think about the volume level of the tires? Are they pretty loud where your having to turn up the radio or talk over them?

They aren’t as loud as my soft top is at highway speeds.

You won't hear any difference but expect about 20% less tread life with MTs over ATs

And when you're done with 'em, you can make these...

I'd imagine you've got close to the end of these tires life.....any update? How many miles did you get out of them? As they wore down did you run into any issues such as them getting louder or bad on wet pavement, not riding smooth, etc?

Thanks!

I just wanted to add that I had some Maxtrek MudTrac tires. They were excellent in all conditions, well protected side wall, I use to flog them hard on my landcruiser and they lasted. Just get ones with deep siping and you'll be fine.
