    I usually buy brand name USA made tires from a guy for $300 a pop and I would pay someone else $30 to mount. However it’s only lowpro 22.5’s. My new truck is 24.5 and only good tires I can get are Yokohama’s for $350. My drives are all brand new Chinese before I bought it and I’ll replace them with good tires as they blow lol.

    Wingfoot aka goodyear commercial tire. Dunlop is their lowest tier tire, but in my experience are great value. National network for Goodyear, Kelly Springfield, and Dunlop. Set up an account with them, push for fleet pricing ... and enjoy many miles of good tire wear.

    The Roadmaster brand is known for having very cheap tires. With NASTC, all of their tires are showing under $300. The Goodyear recaps are also showing under $300. NASTC uses TA/Petro. So, you may be able to find better deals at Love’s, especially their recaps. You can also try Goodyear official locations using the Trucker Path app. I found out their prices were cheaper than NASTC, even with their discount.

    That being said, I would caution you on buying cheap tires. It’s likely that they will reduce your MPGs, and even give you more tire problems. Less MPGs also means more wear and tear on your engine as it has to work harder to pull the same weight. Cheap tires will save you lots of money initially, but I think good quality tires—not necessarily the most expensive—will come out ahead in the long run.
