Lol You spent $600 on exhaust but are now shopping cheap Chinese tires?

I'm a deal shopper myself, but I'd invest more into something as critical as tires. As powerful as the internet is for finding info on tires, I'd steer clear if I wasn't finding anything good or bad. If something were good, you likely would've heard or read about it. Bad news travels faster and farther, so if there's none to be found, it could've just been deleted/covered up/moved, etc.

I'm not saying they're junk and they might be fine if used on a street truck in an area with little rain and no snow. Barring snow or wet traction, if they fail or wear out twice as fast as a set that costs 50% more, then they end up costing more than the good stuff.

I live in vegas, it rarely rains or snows. I rarely drive my truck due to me traveling for a living. I barely put 3k miles on my truck a year. I was asking cause i know some of these companies manufacture tires at the same factory. One of the companies i mention, Haida actually had some decent reviews, but i wanted to see who if anybody knew about them in here.

Just a heads up, I live n Vegas also and if you need tires let me know. I get them at a really good price

Right, and that's why I mentioned no rain or snow. Time-wise, their life probably won't be a problem since they'll have so little use. They might just flat spot like hell from sitting so much and it may work its way out after 10-20 miles of driving.

I know there are reputable Chinese brands and, depending on the application, am a bit of a fan of Dextero at Walmart. I dug around a little on the brands you listed and one (I forget which) had some mall talk about it from 2010 where someone was asking about it. If, after a decade, that brand hasn't developed SOME sort of repute strong enough to be Googled, then I'd scratch them off my list.

Today my Yukon had trailer duty. You may have seen news reports of a tornado that went through Spartanburg, SC last Saturday. Today I helped my local disaster relief team with some cleanup. Some of the houses are nearly completely destroyed. It's sad to see. But it's heartening to see neighbors helping neighbors. It will be a very long time before things return to normal for some of these families. FWIW, the Yukon did fine. AWD was needed in places. But we got everywhere we needed to.

Know all about this, I grew up in Oklahoma and have been in an extremely close f4(ef they call it now I guess) and countless smaller ones and near misses. It's crazy to see what can be done, and literally the next house over be untouched. Trees 5-6ft across snapped in half like a twig or uprooted like nothing. It's intense hearing the wind and sound. Like nothing you'll ever experience (or want to again)

Definitely takes time for communities to heal, but it's always great to see them come together too. Awesome of you to help out and glad it served you well.

This is what happened to our town

I feel small posting this after that horrible tornado story above. Great job and much respect to you.

I just wanted to share my repairs from today.

I had an engine light on the dash throwing a code P0449. Did the usual searches and homework and replaced the vapor canister.

IMHO this is the original and has quite a bit of miles on it.

After the install codes are clear and no engine light.

Also replaced the belts.
