Cheapest 33

So ive decided to go with a 33x12.50r18 with my 2.5 level, my tires are shot and need some asap but being in college its so hard. My dads friend sales tires and can get us trail grapplers for 300 a piece, that a decent deal? Now i want to know any decent mt that you all have heard of people buying, i wanna look online to see if ican find the cheapest one. Like fierce attitudes different ones like that. Thanks

tires are not the place to cheap out on. i put them right up there with brakes. that being said nitto is a quality brand but does not make the trail grappler in a 33x12.5x18, but they do make a 275/70/18 which cost 302 a piece, so your dads friend isnt giving you a deal but hes not ripping you off either. toyo is also a great brand. if you can afford 300 per tire, look into the toyo mt. it will last you 50k and be the quietest mud tire youll ever own

It would be easier if you stuck to your first thread . . .

And as stated before, there is almost no difference ($12) in price between a 33x12.50x18 and a 35x12.50x18. To actually save money, you'd need to go thinner or with a non-mud tire. My 275/60/20 (33.0x10.8x20) BFG Rugged Trails were $205 a piece. If money is tight, I would not blow $300 a piece on tires, though that is a pretty well discounted price on Trail Grapps, which are normally $400 a piece. Going narrower is how you cut cost. Are you running stock or aftermarket wheels?

Nitto and Toyo have the same parent company though, so they should be very similar. The only issue with Toyo, and both really, is that not as many companies carry them. Discount doesn't
