Winrun MT 305 tires from China.
I have the opportunity to get a good price on a set of 275/65/20 winrun mud terrains, I am wondering if anybody on here has run them and if they held up well.

 

I wouldn't run those if they were free. Do a google search for reviews, and you'll see why.

 

There are NO shortcuts. You get what you pay for. Sure they look good. But they are cheap for a reason. Dont you tnink, if they were quality and cheap some auto manufacturers would already have a deal to put them on all their vehicles??

 

There's been issues w/ Chinese manufacturers missing molds and horrible counterfeits being bought. Tires are expensive and rightfully so. Traction from tread pattern, sidewall strength, compounds for tread life and how well them heat up and wear, and load rating. People to often go for looks over needs. There plenty of tire reviews for ride, wear and handling once someone decides what type they need and want. I work with pipelines and most guys like the toyos and coopers m/t types. Toyos are heavy, but if both of those can get 40-50k on a loaded down diesel tuned and pushing 900+tq, id say theyre worth the price, even more so on a 1/2 ton.

 

As others have said, I would not gamble with Chinese tires.

 

Ok that's what I figured, I will probably get Firestone Destination M/T because I've had it in the past and got 40k+ out of them with no problems

 

the best inexpensive tires I've ever had were hankooks and it took me a while to even consider them given they weren't 1 of the 3 basic brands, GY, BFG, Firestone.
Goodyears suck, never been happy w/ them.
Probably best tire purchase ever was yokohama


for the most part if discount or tirerack doesn't carry them then they are probably not very good. as those places don't want to deal w/ comebacks and warranty on bottom of the barrel stuff.
