I Was Looking At Getting Land Terrains From Walmart And Wanted To See If Anyone Has Them And What Do They Think Of Them? I Dont Go Off Road Too Much, Mostly Hunting/fishing. We Get Alot Of Snow Here And Wanted To Know How They Handle.

Personally I'm leary of any tires that Walmart sells.
Walmart isn't well known for quality products, and if the main stream tire stores don't sell them there is probably a reason why

I would recomend BFG all terrain KO's from personal experience

Very few people look at the wreckers for tires, but they often get almost new matching sets of tires. Plus their sometimes already on the rims and balanced

The Land Terrains Do Look Kind Of Nice . Pretty Much Like The Ko's

I got mine fitted at Walmart. It took me having to go to another shop down the road to re-balance the tires to get it rolling smooth though. The clowns at Wallyworld couldn't balance thier own checkbook, let alone SUV tires. :D But so far, even in the snow we had that stuck many cars and trucks and saw others in the ditch, I was trucking along happily in 2-wheel modes. I only engaged the 4x4 when I had to climb some of the steeper hills in the area. On my Land Terrain tires, she tracked good. They are a quiet tire too, they do not make any noise going down the road or highway unles they get a little low. Try them, and at worse, work the warranty that Walmart puts on them to get you something more suitable. However, I am hard pressed to find much of a better tire in my experience for the price of $80 mounted, balanced, lifetime road hazard warantee per wheel.

Next time though, I want to try the BFG All terrain 7-ply LTs, but I am going to go to a specialty shop. Walmart tire Nazis would not mount truck tires on my rig because the door pillar specified "P" rated radials - Passenger tires. :rolleyes: The BFG Land Terrains are a 3 or 4-ply tires, I am not certain on that though - and would be durable enough for light, off-road duty. I would not use them for rock crawling or sandy terrain where one would be best to deflate and run on low tires. The lighter, thinner side-wall construction and the slightly thinner bias plies *will not* stand up to that sort of use for long. For that sort of action, buy the LTs and skip over the "P" rated passenger radial ply tires.

That is exactly why I run the 30 X 9.5 x 15 BFG All Terrains LT's on both my Blazer and my S-10. Sometimes in really soft, deep sand I air down to as low as 10 psi and still run short distances on pavement. Never had a problem with the three sets I have owned. Also get between 70,000 and 80,000 miles per set.

Ever notice the Land terrains are not on BFG's site???? That may give you a little clue into it. And whatever the place tells you the price of the tire is you can bargain. I went to town fair tire and they wanted $160 american a piece for the BFG A/T KO's. I told them to go pound sand. I ended up paying $105 a tire for the 30X9.5X15. Good luck

The guy that I usually get my tires from is a friend of mine, that actually tells me his price. I still have to shop around, there are times when I can get tires for less than he can.

I just told the company I bought them from fine I am getting a warranty and everything else included for $115 a piece and I am hanging up now, the guy called me back and said we can do them for $105 plus $10 a piece for the warranty. I said forget it this place is closer to me and they said fine we will give you the warranty here are the tires for $105 a piece including the warranty. Everything in life negotiable...... Everything!

That's a good deal on a good tire. I'm thinking on getting that size. According to the info that I have they're the bigggest that will fit my first gen without a lift.

Check out Nokian tires.
Aparently they are a good quality tire, but new to N.Amarica and they are selling them at a low low price trying to get a name for themselves.

I haven't looked at them yet, but everyone that I know that has is very impressed
