I do agree that I will not go with cheap no brand tires ! I scored on my Good Years and the reviews were good So will see if they hold up to at least 40/50k. Many have passed the mileage ! BUT if they wear bad or start loosing traction like you they will be goneThere are two areas on my truck I won't cheap out on. Tires and brakes. The safety for me and my loved ones and others on the road is paramount. Having said that I do research these areas diligently to ensure I get the best value for my dollar. The same can be said for how long I run my tires. I have never run tires to the miles claimed they are good for. I run them until they start losing grip or I have lost confidence in them.
I looked at those Nitto Dura Grapplers ( nice looking tire ) but when I see 30 pages of video reviews of the same manufacture clips and no real world reviews it raises the alarm bells. Not saying they are bad just wouldn't bother going any further. I use video and written reviews to narrow the down the field.
I’ve had plenty of off brands that were better and wore better than good years lol.I do agree that I will not go with cheap no brand tires !

I have had good luck with Good Year's, Had about 40k on the SRA's and still had tread left ! So I expect to see 40k+ on these AT/s tires ! BUT I also do not drive like a mad man either :O No off roading either ! SO we all have good and bad luck with certain brands !

I’ve ran cheap tires. More popular cheap tires and tires that I’ve never heard of. The only flats I’ve ever had were on my good years And more than once tooFor the "I never cheap out on tires" guys.
Have you had a bad experience with other than name brand tires in the last 20yrs or so? I'm old enough to remember when cheap tires where REALLY cheap tires.
Like said, if they mount/balance OK, your only risk is maybe getting 12k miles less treadlife out of them. That's what I've experienced anyway.
Same with brake pads/rotors. Most are Chinese imports today anyway. Never had an issue.
