They seemed good to us.

Thanks, I did. Some super no names for the $50 range + tax and $100 or so for any sort of name.
I can Amazon them to her no tax free shipping more economically and mom n pop tires shops are all that’s around there save for Wallmart and the mom n pops aren’t turning down mounting internet tires yet like in the cities. They’ll take any business they can get.

There isn’t a Costco within 3 hours of where she lives unfortunately....or fortunately depending how you look at it.

i have a set of nankang SP-9, no complaints they have about 25k on them and are about half worn out. snow traction is decent, and road noise is minimal.paid 285 for a set of 235-65-18's from discount direct and 59 bucks to mount/balance from tiresplus.

I have been running Nanking on my Astro van for 6+ years and have no complaints. I also ran some Nexian tires on a PT Cruiser with no problems for several years. I have some Wal Mart brand Dextero's on my Duramax Silverado. They have been better than the OEM's(Bridgestone) for longevity. I even have some Falken LT tires on the 5er that have lasted longer than Maxxis ST tires.

Not apples to apples but I had them on my boat trailer for about 10 years with absolutely no issues. Held air well and no rot when I swapped them out. 205/75-14 size load C iirc.

Agree Kumho tires are more proven. But at $100 a tire vs $60-70/tire it adds up. (Long story, but we provide a great deal of financial support for her and her 4 kids already)
I wish takeoffs were an option but she lives in the Northwoods, not something that is available up there, believe me I looked, but firewood for sale adds outnumber takeoff car tires by about 30 to 1, lol.

Edit, it's a little Chebby HHR we found her out here in WA in beautiful shape last year. Nicest car she's had in a long time.

You didn't mention car type or tire size for your sisters car, but look at Kumho tires if it is a small car. They are decent quality, good tread patterns and reasonably priced, HelMart sells them online and by having them shipped to store, it makes for an easy transaction. I put them on m'ladies little Chev Cobalt, and they actually seemed better driving than the 50,000 mile Michelins we took off.
If her vehicle is a larger or more of an off road vehicle, I would stay with most of the American mfr's.
