Cheap or expensive tyres?

AlexanderM · Nov 17, 2024

Will you go to the cheap end of the market when buying tyres? Or will you go and buy a premium up market tyre? Can you notice much of a difference? I believe if you buy an expensive one, not only will you get longer life out of it but your fuel economy and savings will significantly improve

When it comes to my car tyres, I alway go for the best. A lot accidents occur as a result of bad tyres and this is why I would never gamble with my life to save a few bucks off buying tyres.

The tire is literally the most important part of the vehicle as it is the only piece of your vehicle that actually connects it to the road. be frugal elsewhere. but tires...nope.

I’d stick with a reputable all-terrain tire, you may give up a bit of mpg, but the confidence and durability are worth the trade-off.

KO3s would be my choice!

Thread 'Overtrail Upgrades Part 1...Larger BFG KO3 and Westcott tube sliders'

Dec 15, 2025

Time to get wheeling...REAL A/T tires...KO3. Slightly larger at 33.2". 100% NO rubbing in any height mode. Then I just got the first set of 700h sliders out there. From Westcott in Phoenix. GREAT business, owner, and staff. Black Friday special with 20% off totaled $2150 INSTALLED. They were about $500 more than the same set for the GX and 4Runners. There are more to these Westcott says. They bolt-on though there is one hold that needs to be drilled in the frame on each side. They sweat and stand by that these can take a severe beating on the rocks.

Now...high clearance front...
