New tires - Mastercraft HTP 275/55/20

Long trails don't wear anything like the All Terrains. They made about 25K on my dad's Suburban before they were just too slippery to drive on in the wet. Maybe they don't like the heat here. I got 60K out of my ATs and they were still good enough that a buddy put them on his hunting truck when I replaced them with another set.

No history with Mastercraft to report on here. The seem to look really good.

I hate to burst your bubble, but I've had the same experience with them as Jose and Scott. I know a few people that love 'em, but they don't do half the driving and hauling that I do. Good luck with them.

I was thinking of getting some for I like the thread design but I don't know now.

I had some MC's once. They spontaneously burst into flames destroying my truck and burning 12 acres of land. There were many, many animals that died and one squirrel was even raped in the chaos. Good luck.

P.S. I still think the one firefighter with the pedostache raped the squirrel but I have no proof so I have to put that on the tires too, unfortunately

Good luck though!

Good luck with 'em!

Done a burn out with 'em next to the clinic yet??

You should check the pressure more often.

I was told that any BFG tire if you purchase at Walmart uses a different compound. I have experienced this with BFG radial TA's. When I drove my 67 Camaro daily the set I bought a from tire dealer lasted about 10,000 miles longer than the Walmart set. I will admit that both sets had some turns in the water box at the local track on Friday nights...LOL!!!

I'ce heard a lot of people say that TVs, tires, batteries, etc were made cheaper to sell to Walmart. It's just people talking out of their ass. I have a cousin (in law) who runs an electronics distribution center in Houston. It's strictly wholesale distribution. They have something like 100,000 square feet of warehouse space. Many Sony products (including TVs) that are sold by Walmart are sent to the Walmart distribution center from his hub. They are the same products that are sent to other retailers...

One explanation made to me about tires is that tires have the lot codes on them and Walmarts are coded to them. I have a co-worker that went to Walmart to have tire replaced that came apart it just happened to be a BFG All Terrain. Walmart was open on Sunday and he needed the tire, when he went in the first thing they told him is they could not warranty (pro-rate it) because it was not theirs (Walmart). He just needed a tire and did not expect warranty because it had been damaged off roading. It was at this point the that he says the tire center manger began to educate him on the tires that Walmart sells.

Electronics and loads of other stuff they sell I do find it hard to believe that any differences exist. I could see them having a compound change for tires for better or worse. When I lived in Arkansas we shopped Walmart all the time. Living in Tucson I think I have been there 3 times.
