I got a quote for a set of 265/76/16 All Terrain Atlas Desperado tires (load range E) for $499. Seemed like a good deal. Anyone ever heard of these tires? I know you generally get what you pay for with tires, but was hoping someone had some input.

I'm also open to other suggestions for tires in the $500-$600 range.

 

If you can get E rated all terrain tires for 500 bucks id say go for it either way... I got a deal and paid $750 for 285/75's that are D rated off brand tires. Where are you getting these?

 

Yup, $500 out the door seems like a steal. It was some shop in Stockton I found on craigslist. Their phone number is 209.460.0786

 

I have herd of them... I also found a place on ebay that has them for about the same, but he also has name brands for about $700 too!

 

im not sure where these are made... but i dont trust anything made in china between me and the road.. its a saftey issue

 

Another cheaper tire to consider is the Master craft line of tires, an economy line of tires from Cooper tires.

 

I ended up going with a Falken Rocky Mountain ATS. Overall very happy and they do pretty well in poor conditions. I get sketched out last minute about cheap tires so i bit the bullet and went with the Falkens.

 

On a side note, anyone know of a good alignment shop in the bay area or central coast? I figured it would be a good time for an alignment with the new tires...

 

Don't know about the Masters but Cooper Tires have come a long way since their inception. I had Coopers on my cars and their nice well built tires. I'm sure their truck tires are well built too.

 

Mike ,Cooper tires is gaining a good reputation that is for sure. I replaced my dedicated snow tires this year and went with Cooper ST.

Obligatory tire pic:

 

Looks good Walt, your right, alot of tire shops are really carring these tires now. I'm keeping my options open to tire brands but Coopers are up there as a possible choice.

 

Damn now I have this song stuck in my head!
