Default Whatever you do please Buy American !

I am not overly patriotic but the only way we can help get ourselves out of this economic situation is to send less money overseas.

Not to derail the thread but I am redoing my brakes on my XJ and where are all of the Duralast from Autozone brake parts made ? CHINA !

So as a result of seeing too much Chinese S*#@ I am in the market for tires and I am ONLY buying American.
I hope that many others will consider this as well. We'll all be better off for it in the long run.

I have the dynapro M/Ts (33's). they are a good tire but IMHO out of all the choices you have the dynapros would be at the bottom of the list. I would go with the goodyears

I have Duratrac's and I really like them. Like everyone else says, great traction offroad and they arent very loud. I used to run BFG AT's. I will ALWAYS have Duratrac's on my Jeep or any other truck I own.

ok, thanks im gonna go with either the goodyear authority, or the general grabber at2, whichever i can get for cheaper, im building a house right now so i need to think cheap lol. i know at wallyworld i can get the authority for 133, so ill see what my favorite tire shop can get the general for, and decide from there. anyone know about how many miles you get out of the goodyear approximately? and how many out of the general? so i got something to compare the two.
