Forum Discussion
As far as cheap st tires go I'll add this to the discussion.In 2008 my oem st tires began to fail on my current 5er one after another within a 100 miles or so of each other.
The cheap import st replacements also began to fail about 18 months later,luckily I caught all 8 tires before any catastrophic damage was done.
Now to the cheap part !! I worked in the industrial tire business for many many years and had access to distributor pricing as well as wholesale pricing for tires, otr / truck or passenger application.
My loose tire price for ST 235/80R/16 LRE ranged from $32.00 to $48.00 each and included several different import brands,some had the same tread pattern some didn't, some of the brands had the same DOT number hint...hint.
My distributor price on the least expensive Michelin LT 235/85R/16 LRE was $188.00 per tire (loose) I could buy 4 st's for what 1 Michelin cost !!
There is a huge difference between a high quality manufactured LT tire and a cheap overrated ST import... just pick 1 of each up and the difference is realized immediately,also pull on the sidewalls.
I ended up with 235/85R/16 LRE BFG Commercial TA's which were flawless... but got recalled and replaced with Michelin XPS Ribs of the same size and couldn't be more satisfied.
Returned from a south Georgia camping trip last week and the XPS ribs were slightly warm with the cruise set on 70mph turning 2000 rpm's.
