Liberator Tires

I put a set on my 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee nearly 80,000 miles ago and they have been great tires. The original Wranglers were worn out after only 40,000 miles. I plan to get another set from Wal-Mart real soon. They have been great in the deep snow of Northern Wisconsin and Michigan. I spent the few extra bucks for the road hazard warranty and free rotations and have had them rotated a few times. The folks at Wal-mart in Oshkosh and Fon-du-Lac have been great to deal with. Was impressed with the fact that, when they rotate the tires, they torque the lug nuts, then drive the car around the parking lot a few times, then re-torque the lug nuts. They use torque limiting extensions on their wrenches to limit the torque. I believe that when I bought the tires a few years ago, they were touting them as 70,000 miles. Maybe they have gotten more conservative with their ratings?

I've had them on mine for about 15,000 miles, no complaints here.

For the price you will be hard pressed to beat them... Even if they only last 35k...

They don't really look that great, not that aggressive anyway. Awesome price still tho!

I'm all for a bargain just like the next guy, I surely don't have money to burn.
However, I do have a list.

I don't buy:
cheap house paint (about two coats is the limit of my patience)
cheap razor blades (hey, it's my face we're talkin about)
cheap tires (35k vice 70k means I can forget about tire buying for several years)
