I have 315/75 16 goodyear wrangler mtr, but they just dont last long on the road... at all, like most mud tires, they are to expensive to keep buying, about 290 a piece, this is to expensive for me, expecally when im paying for college.

What would be a good replacement tire for a tight budget

If you're looking to stick with mudders, I'm in love with Dick Cepek's Mud Country. If not, BFG All-Terrains are a popular choice. Others are the Toyo Open Country AT, General Grabbers, and the Goodyear Wrangler Authority (Walmart exclusive) are some other popular ones.

In most cases they tend to be more expensive...thats all lol Ive got 35" GY kevlars on my jeep on 35s and they ran me about 250 a piece mounted and balanced from a local shop.

Just as an example the GY kevlars in 35s from discounttire.com cost 206 per tire for 15s...and 290 per tire for 16s (not including the cost of mount and balance)

Well, asking for tire suggestions is like asking what's your favorite beer- everybody is going to tell you what their favorite is without learning what kind of beer YOU like. So, if this is your DD verses your crawler, it's gonna make a difference.

Going cheaper on beer just gets you beer that doesn't taste as good, but still does the job (making women look prettier :rofl: ). But, I digress.

Some folks like Procomp Xtreme All Terrain Radial. ~$240
315 75 16 Pro Comp Xtreme All Terrain Radial 315/75R16 D BSW

And, Mr. Burton suggested Dick Cepek's, which run about $250.
DICK CEPEK MUD COUNTRY RADIAL 121Q
MUD COUNTRY RADIAL - OnlineTires.com

Some folks like Goodyear, which you seem to know about.

Some folks like BFG ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO. ~$240
315 75 16 BFGoodrich Tires ALL-TERRAIN T/A KO 315/75R16 121Q RWL D

Best of luck finding the right one for you. :thumb:

Do a search and look-up my review I did on the Federal Couragia MT's

They are an awesom tire for the price. When I bought them a couple years ago they were $125ea. check on Tiresavings.com

General grabber at2 is a nice tire but it's not an mt tire but they work really good for the casual off roader. My dad has them on his truck and we've had them in some nasty stuff and haven't let him down yet and his came with a 50,000 mile warranty! So they last if you rotate them when your supposed too. :D that's just my opinion

If you have the room pick up a second set of rims on CL and throw some super swamper ltb's on them and only run them when u go off road. That's what I do and I have BF's as my daily driver tires. Up front it costs a little more but in the long run your tires will last longer on the street because you won't need that aggressive of a tire.

Cons, it really isn't that bad. The ltb's are very aggressive and bias ply but you can drive on them. They just eat up a lot more gas and aren't as good as a regular street tire. It's just a good low cost way to have good tires. They are only around 100 bucks for the 31's and not much more for 34's. It was only a suggestion...

I just wouldn't be a fan. I rather get a decent tire that will hold it's own on the trail, but still last on the road. Unless you spend your time boggin thru deep mud, I don't see the need for two different sets of tires. It's personal preference though

Don't get buckshots. The ones I had were awful. They aged poorly, were super loud and were downright terrifying in wet weather. They threw some mud, no doubt. But honestly? Is that small price difference between a good set of mud terrains and the buckshots really worth plowing into an electric pole because you hit a puddle doing over 30 mph?

My recommendation are the BFG All Terrains. They aren't as good in mud. But they are awesome on every other surface, are quiet, wear well and more affordable. Currently running a set of Goodyear Wrangler mud terrains that I love though.
