I went to Pepboys to pick up my oil filter and saw the Enforcer M/T 235/85/16 for $69.95 ea. Don't know how good they are but for the price I thought I would share. Oh, this is in Texas. | ||

That's a great price... I checked my local Pepboys (Hackensack, NJ) and they don't have that price. It's $97 bucks each tire and they are actually advertising that as a special of the week! They're really pretty decent tires for the money. I am on my second set on my Disco and really couldn't complain about them. Last time I got them they were running a buy 3 get 1 free. I wonder if they can honor that price here... hhhmmm -Glenn | ||

Primarily interstate driving I got 35k before they wore quite excessively. Po'Boys special is good for the $ | ||

My guess for their lifetime on pavement is about 30k. They seem to have soft rubber compound, and work very well on the rocks - but melt quickly on pavement. Also, they don't seem to hold balance for very long. | ||

Mine lasted for about 30 k miles, mostly pavement, only rotated once and balanced once at a place near me that does truck/tractor trailor tires, never a prob, They are load range E, 80 psi cold, i run mine at 60 psi, and at 20-25 off road, tough side walls! Peter | ||

if anyone is near Northeast PA...check out Hal Bond tire. I get all four of my tires for about $95. Sure they are used but in great condition and I have put about 30k miles on this set already and I know they'll last me through the winter. Now thats cheap! | ||

How do these tires do off road. I am looking to get some new tires and wanted to get some opinions. | ||

it depends on what "off road" do you mean. they perform very well on the rocks, I'd even say they would outperform BFG M/Ts on the rocks. They dig themselves in very quickly in deep snow and sand, which is just the result of mud thread pattern. | ||
| Tyler Anderson (Anderstd) Member Username: Anderstd Post Number: 50 Registered: 05-2003 |
Do they clear the mud snow and sand out well, or do they just fill up and become slicks? | ||

in my opinion tyler, these tires are not good for winter driving in PA, i had them for a few years. combination detroit in the rear and these tires made my truck very unstable on highway. of course it rocked the party offroad. if you are doing a second set of rims then the futura is not a bad winter tire offroad and summer time it is okay, but a little shitty on rain. that said most mud terrains are not so good on icey roads rd |
