super sport tire
« on: 04/ 2/07 - 02:20PM »
Can anyone tell me anything about these. I have a chance to buy 4 brand new 35x12.50x15 for $400. Seems like a great price. The tread looks great and I have read about them on the net.  Anyone ever had them??

I think that is/was a tire that Wal-Mart sells.  I've only known one guy that ran them about 5yrs ago.  Haven't seen much of them since.  $400 may be a bit pricey unless they are nearly new.
I'd put something funny here, but you probably wouldn't get it anyway...

DEPENDS ON WHAT YOU ARE USING THEM FOR, DAILY DRIVE OK, OTHER WISE LOOK AT SIDEWALL RATINGS.  I RAN KUHMOS AND FOUND TO BE TOO SOFT ON ROCKS.

I didn't see that, just that the tread looks great.  My mistake...

$100 a tire is pretty cheap for 35's.  They would do you fine just for trail riding around Chadwick and light wheeling in the woods at SMORR, but like Rick said, rocks take their toll pretty fast on the softer sidewalls.

I've been pretty happy with the mud king 35x12.50 made by BFG at $131 through hickman tires on west chestnut

I would stay away from the super sport's. I worked at a Wal Mart in the tire shop for three years and these things are bad about breaking belts and it is not just the sidewall that punctures easy in these. I was constantly patching these things.
