Has anyone every heard about BigO tires.. they are the Big foot X/Ts.. i just got a set used for a steal ( i guess? 4 for $125). they are 245/75/16s. just wanted to know what people have heard about these tires. i looked online and everyone seemed to really like them but did say they were way to expensive.

Four tires for $125? Sounds too good be true. I'd be looking for plugs. Then again, they're cheap tires to begin with, so they're probably just not worth much on the used market.

Please report back after a few months and again in a year to let us know how they hold up.

When I was in Colorado - there were BigO dealers everywhere - and the tires were reasonable - they were a discount brand -
I think they're actually made by Kelly-Springfield.

but heck - $125 for 4 is a great deal - I'd try them - they can't be worse than the Goodyears that came on the Liberty stock.

the reason they were 125 is i got them from a good friend that just got MTRs. other wise im sure they would have been way more.

I'd say he's a GREAT friend!!!! that or he's horrible at math! ;) seriously though, how can you go wrong for $125 for newer rubber. 31 bucks per tire is fantastic...who cares if they are cheap tires or not...run them til the treads fly off, you'll never see 4 tires again for that price. that's usually just for one tire.

I have been buying tires from Big O for years. Have never had a problem with any that I have purchased. Will continue with Big O brand until they pry my cold dead hands of the steering wheel of my Jeep!!

And their customer service is excellent also.
