Starfire Solarus AP All Terrain 275/65R18 116T Light Truck Tire

I dont often shop at Walmart. I happened to be in there one day and was strolling past the automotive section. I was looking at tires and as I often do, checking the country of origin on the different brand tires. I noticed a brand of tire I had never heard of, Starfire. I figured they were Walmarts house brand. I also figured they were imported. I was pleasantly surprised to see that they were not imported, but Made In The USA. I did a little research and found out they are made by Cooper Tire. Many tire companies have plants in the USA but Cooper and Goodyear are the only two tire companies that are actually American. Flash forward a couple of months and I was in need of some tires for my 2016 Silverado. The least expensive tire I could find online (Tire Rack, Discount, Amazon, etc) were about $150 per tire. A friend recommended I try Walmart. I went online and found the Starfire brand at an outstanding price of under $100 per tire. Remembering that they were Made In The USA I decided to give them a shot. When I ordered them I received an email confirming they were shipping directly from Cooper Tire. I had the tires in 2 days at my door. Four tires, with tax and free shipping were under $400 delivered. When they arrived I confirmed that they were made in the USA. These tires have a 50k mile warranty which is on the lower end. For the price though 2 sets will cost around what a set with a 60/70k mile warranty would cost. Also, my OEM tires are Goodyear and still have plenty of tread left on them at 58k miles. Unfortunately the sidewalls are dry rotting and I will not be able to get the full tread life from them. I do all of my own tire mounting and balancing at home. I can confirm that the tires balanced easily and all four ran true on the balancer. If I can get near the 50k miles of treadlife from these tire I will be very satisfied.

I needed one tire to replace a ruined Sears tire. With no Sears tire centers left within 100 miles, I opted to order this tire from Walmart.com. It shipped VERY quickly, and its a heck of a nice tire at a great price. I'd buy 4 of these in a heartbeat if I needed them. Be aware - Walmart Auto centers are closed! That surprised me, but a local garage did the install for $15.
