GT Tires
Has anyone ever heard of a tire brand called GT tires. Stands for Gajah Tunggal. I think they are made in Indonesia. Anyway I have found a great deal on some 33" A/T radials. But I have never heard of this brand. I have been to there website and they don't show any dealers or markets in the United States. The guy who is selling them says they make tires for BFGoodrich and Michelin. Has anyone heard of these - what do you think?

Sounds Chinese to me.....
Back of my Ranger proudly wears GOODYEAR EAGLE GT II's, and KUMHO tires are on the front because they were the only ones in that sidewall range I could find at the time.
Performance tires cost.
The Eagles have a much stickier compound than Mastercrafts, which are way cheaper.
The 235/60/15 Eagles STICK even though they are a smaller diameter tire than the alternate set of 245/60/15 Mastercraft tires I have on the same rims - I can spin the Mastercrafts all the way across a Walmart lot with a 2.3 liter driving them on the same truck.....

I have a set of GT avengers in 295-50-15 that are still like new with 5000 miles on them although not a lot of miles they were on a Jeep Wrangler.
Thing looked like a giant rc car.
I wanted to put them on my truck but would rub up front so now I am looking to sell or trade all 5 for a set of 235-265-75-15.

Pep boys got good deals on their house brand tires they used to be called Futuras
and I have the Dakota's on my bronco in 33x12.5r15 and I got them for $90.00 each
they have worn nicely and get excellent traction in the sand and ok in the mud.
I have had them for a long time and still have a lot of tread.
I have the futura Scramblers on the ranger and they are wearing really good but
do stair step when they need to be rotated. They get good wet road traction and
are super quiet(so are the dakotas) and I think they have been on like 40k or so
and still have over half the tread.
I believe they changed the brand name to something else, I was told that Cooper
actually rebrands their tires for pep boy, Their tires are about the only thing I get
from po boys unless I was looking for a scooter or stereo!!!
