Experiences with replacement tires?

Discount Tire does not sell round tires. I am convinced they peddle blemished tires at this point. Id buy from Costco, walmart, Amazon, Ebay, Eloy the Elote street corn vendor.... anywhere but @Discounttire

Discount: The maverick is a truck, roadforce under 40 is fine.
Discount: No we didnt add hub centric rings because my tech didnt say we needed them.
Discount: Sorry, New tech he mounted your CC2s the wrong direction. (2 of them)
Discount: Oh yeah, we rebalanced them and 2 of them were off by at least .75oz (drove 10 miles/returned)
Discount: sorry we put in the wrong TPMS sensors ( they were supposed to be swapped over from old wheels)...
Discount is a joke. Used to be fantastic, but the new generation is lazy and the Managers cant do it all themselves.

thanks for weighing in!

and sorry for the aweful experience you had ugh!

My 2026 Factory Tremor Tires.
Are,
OUTSTANDING!

They are
Goodyear Territory R/T All Terrain
235/65R17
New tread depth 14/32

The Goodyear Wrangler Territory R/T All Terrain in size 235/65R17 weighs between 29 to 29.56 pounds. This makes it a notably lightweight option for an all-terrain tire, allowing drivers to upgrade their tread without significantly adding unsprung weight to their vehicle.
These AT’s are super smooth and quiet just like good all season tires.

The Pirelli Scorpion AS Plus 3 in size 235/65R17 weighs between 29.7 and 30 pounds. They were far better than any Michelin I’ve ever had.
Betcha I’ve logged more miles on Michelins than most.
194,000 highway miles on ONE set of the old Sears models. I forget the model code.

Hands down win with the Pirelli’s. They are simply far more advanced in every category.

thanks! We might take a look at the Pirellis

Michelin Defender 2s on my 2025 Tremor. I don't go off road. When I bought the truck the all terrain tires were quite loud and were replaced in the first week of ownership. The Defender 2s are comparable in ratings on Tire Rack to the Cross Climates. I went with the Defender 2s because of the increased tread depth, longer warranty and lower price. They performed extremely well in snow this past winter.

thanks for the information on the 2’s. They have a good rating. I just wasn’t sure what we would be giving up and the wildpeak 3’s would be an only

thanks that’s good to know! They are rated well for that but I was not sure since no experience with the tire.

That doesn’t speak well for those tires which are highly regarded. How many miles?

above the rated number of miles so time to replace. If we did any off road and the wildpeak a/t 3’s were readily available we would put them on again.

Check with Costco. Once I factored in the warranty, Costco beat the others. Plus I'd rather wander around Costco killing time than a tire shop.

Michelin go on sale at Costco roughly every other month.

yea. Needed to time the replacement for a sale.. but …

we got well over the rated miles for the falcons that came with the truck and think they performed really well!

Only 1100 miles so far but those do impress me also!

I have had several brands of AT tires on other trucks, my favorites are Nokian Finnish Co the produces tires in Dayton TN. And Nitto specifically the G3 tires on my F150,

Quieter than the Michelin Defender OEM, better grip wet/dry. Gotta wear out the Terrain's before considering again!

Considering Michelin Cross Climate 2’s

Also wondering where best to buy them?

Great tires. COSTCO

We need to replace tires on our 24 Maverick Tremor edition. Generally have been happy with the Wildpeak AT 3’s that came on it but since we currently don’t go off-road but do deal with snow, ice, rain etc wondering experiences other 24 owners had with other tires.

Our 23 still has the factory continentals at 46 k with decent tread left. They have been great in our northern michigan winters. I will go with them again unless they are to pricey.

Yeah, people who drive reasonably get the rated mileage or better out of the factory tires. People with a heavy foot or on really bad road quality eat them up and then complain very loudly about crummy factory tires, when the real problem is the nut behind the steering wheel.

Not true. The OEM version of say a Falken Wildpeak that came on my Tremor were gone at just under 30k They mass produce tires for the OEM's that have less tread depth and designed to be quiet.

Google- Key differences between the two include:

• • Design and Tweaks: Automakers collaborate with tire companies to optimize OEM tires for fuel economy, cabin quietness, or dry handling. Aftermarket tires focus on broader goals like extended tread life or balanced all-season traction.
  • Tread Depth: OEM tires often have slightly shallower tread depths right out of the box, which improves handling and fuel economy but can result in a shorter lifespan.
  • Warranties: Aftermarket tires usually come with a manufacturer's mileage warranty. OEM tires supplied from the factory typically do not come with a treadwear warranty.
  • Specialized Markings: OEM tires frequently have special stamps indicating the car brand they were tuned for (e.g., a star for BMW, "T" for Tesla, or "N0" for Porsche).

Any thoughts on the BFG Trail Terrain? I'm not ready yet...but I would go with stock size for my XLT Hybrid. I did look at the weight, and there are heavier tires. Just wondering if they would be anyone's choice. Thanks.

While tires certainly can make a difference it is the diver who ultimately determines how their vehicle responds in snow. If you think you can drive it in winter exactly how you drive it in summer it doesn’t matter much which tires you have.

I installed BF GOODRICH 235/65R17 BSW 104H OE KIA from Costco. I like them so far. I don't feel anything was given up on wet or dry pavement traction. I do have some concerns about hydroplaning if in heavy water due to the outer tread blocks being a solid row. I think there has been a slight decrease in mileage. Ride quality is better, but I went from 18" to 17" wheels so there is a little more sidewall. They are also pretty quiet, I can hear a faint amount of tire hum at low speeds when decelerating.

I'm personally not a fan of tires with solid outer tread bands because water can't be evacuated out the sides. But if the reviews say the wet traction is great then my point is moot.

If I lived in the snowbelt (or even went to the snow somewhat), I'd look at getting an all-weather tire, which is basically a 3PMSF-rated highway/all season tire.

Something like the Cooper Traction Command seems like a good option. Looks like a regular highway tire from the side, but it has wider lug spacing than some of the other all-weather tires like the General 365AW but not as aggressive as a trail-terrain tire (like the Cooper Road+Trail).

Well, discarding the AI bullshit statement, I measured my Michelin Primacies against aftermarket Primacies. Both were about 9/32nds, and easily wear to their rated distance of 60k. Like I said, it's mostly about how hard you drive.
