    It’s cheap and should last 65k but what I’m sold is how cheap it is. I don’t really need off-road tires as I barely off roading and I’m more for towing. I bought a set of Kelly’s and they suck. I think 27k miles on them and they are already worn out. Kelly’s is suppose to be a good year brand so I thought they would be okay but they are not.

    The Armstrong brand goes back to the early 1900's. I had the original Armstrong Tru Tracs on my CJ back in 71. A much different tire than this new design Tru Trac. It is probably ok for an HT.

    I had Armstrong tires on my Chevelle back on the mid 1980's. They were pretty decent back then if that helps.

    Just ordered the Armstrong and waiting for them to get to me which shouldn’t be too long.

    I’ll see how they drive.

    My truck is in the shop right now but I’m not sure if I’m going to keep my truck right now or not. Have issues with my truck right now but I’ll update you guys if I do put the tires on my tundra.

    Most of the reviews say they are solid for ride, comfort and dry handling. Several note poor cold wet traction. I had several white knuckle experiences driving my Arizona Suburban in Boston one winter. The rubber compound was so hard to withstand 125 degree Phoenix days but sucked in 10 deg snow and ice

    Got rid of my truck and got a used 2013 Avalon for the time being. Will likely get a tundra again in about 2-3 yrs.

    So I have to sell the tires i just bought unless someone here wants to buy them. They are LT 285/70r17

    I bought the Armstrong and they are handling really well. No road noise and quiet comfortable. I would give them a 5/5.

    In my opinion tires aren’t the place to go cheap

    Sometimes off brands or brands you never heard are good. Just like my tundra doesn’t need premium just because it’s a v8.

    Only high performance V8’s do, which the iforce is not.

    If you get the supercharger you need premium.

    Tires feels great. Good on road performance and good for slight off road even with a trailer attached on slight wet grass.

    mind you I have 4x4
    Would highly recommend for people looking for cheap tires that do a good job.
