D37 Ling Long Tires.. Reviews? Other decent budget tires???!!??

I was hoping at one point to find a off brand tire that was decent to get past the price hike due to lower production of natural rubber. But then realized investors & producers will not allow production to exceed demand to bring prices back down.

Therefore every bit of advice given to me is to buy the best tire you can afford. Every time I have saved a few dollars up front on a tire, it has cost me the difference & more later.

 

I'll buy MRT caps way before I buy another Chinese virgin tire.

I may catch some flack for this but here goes nothing. I tried a couple Double Coin trailer tires on my old trailer last year because they were way cheaper at the time than anything else available (issue on the road - had to buy two tires). I expected the worst but was pleasantly suprised with the performance.

I just threw another cap off my "nationally branded not to be named tire manufacturer" trailer tire week before last and had already mounted my spare the week before when another of said recaps went south on me. Anyway, I bought 4 more Double Coins. The price had gone up quite a bit but you can still save a few bucks.

Before anyone screams "American Job Killer" at me, all 10 of the brand new Bridgestones that came on my new tractor have "Made in Malaysia" stamped on them. Global economy etc etc.

 

I like the hoo flung dung tires best!!!!! Try loves boonville mo. jeff gives killer deals . tell him Gary sent ya!

 

There were a couple of people on this forum that mentioned the Lin Long sidewalls were tough to mount & pretty solid. They didn't say anything about tread wear though.

I think Yokohama & a few other tire brands have some of their tires made in Southern IL by Mt. Vernon. Have heard good things on the RY023, but mixed results on the their drive tires.

Oh & you web developers out there. Design a commercial tire version of tire rack with regards to their review system. Would think advertising would support it generously once it takes off.

 

Friend of mine just bought 8 22.5 Michelin caps, no trade in cash and carry for $180. Each
