Towstar STR Tires?

Has anyone had experience with these tires? Got a quote from Les Shwab for $396 for four. I've had good luck with Les Shwab in the past, but never heard of these tires, Help?

    Just an update. I called the local Les Schwab dealer and was quoted $437.92 for 4 Towstar ties. ST205/75 R14. I am considering Carilisle or GY tires now. Not much difference in price and better overall reviews and reputation.


    Do your self a favor and stay clear of LS and go to Discount Tire and buy GY ENDURANCE in the size and load range you need.

    Recommend the Carlisle Radial Trail or Goodyear Endurance. Both have a big following.

    Yo baby!

    Don't believe everything (sometimes anything) you read on an internet forum.....especially when it's endorsed by "Mr. Tires", ROTFL

    Yea Baby!
  • Some of the better ST tires on the road are made in china such as the commercial grade S637 Sailuns or the Provider ST tires.

    Agree there are some very cheap made/bad quality ST C/D/E load range tires being sold today.
  • Stay far away from any Chinese trailer tires. I second the Goodyear Endurance.

    First mistake is even entering a LesSchwab Dealer.

    Look up the parent company, can't Pronounce it???

    If all you care about is having someone up your AZZ even before you get out of the truck have at it! They are riding on the Founders reputation.

    PIZZ poor quality products and service!

    Go to Discount Tire and have them slap on a set of GY ENDURANCE in the load range you need. You can thank me later!
  • After reading the reviews I would buy something better. The good reviews focus on price and service. Several negative comments concerning warranty.
