Patriot Tires

[jdraker62]

Has anyone run these?

 

[RustyJC]

The only information I could find on them is that they are a Sears Roebuck house brand sourced from Cooper Tire & Rubber. No country of origin available.

Never heard of them and I sold tires for a living 5 years ago.

They're from these guys, they had a TV show about it. https://www.dieselsellerz.com/ IIRC they are made in China. I wouldn't touch them.

Skip them....pretty much anyone can now order a couple containers of tires from China and call themselves a tire maker/distributor.... just look at all the copy cat tire treads now....really bad in ATV and RZR tire markets too.

I haven't run them myself. Regarding the other comments about country of origin, their FAQ says Taiwan manufacture with no Chinese sourcing. Whether Taiwan is a separate entity from PRC or not involves all sorts of politics that I'd rather not try diving into.

Just look on the tire---the COO is there.... DOT requirement.

If you can't pronounce the parent company name stay away! "Patriot" what a joke.

There is a guy here at work that got them shipped to him for like $1200. Can't remember the size but he likes them. They look good. He says they are pretty quiet on highway too. When he gets here today I throw up couple pics of his tires.

I paid $1,278 out the door at Discount Tire for MS2's on my Dually.

I know three guys who have these tires. 35's, 37's and 40's. All three of them love these tires. Quiet on the highway and awesome off road. None of them have had any wear issues. These will probably be my next 35" tire.

Yea they seem to be a good tire. They built these tires just for diesel trucks like these

 

[jdraker62]

I know that is what they claim. Figured if it was true someone in TDR land may have tried them. I can't keep tires on my truck. The BFG KO2's I put on are in need of replacement at only 26k miles. I have my ball joints replaced, upgraded steering system and box and a Carlie Leveling kit on it. This is by far the worst wear I have ever had. E rated tires shouldn't go this quickly, and I keep this thing aligned. It is a bone stock truck and there is no burnouts just family driving. In the past I have run Hankook and BFG AT's. What tires are you having good luck with? Looking for 35x12.50's or 315s.

Man I've been down that same road. When I pulled trailers everyday. Now I use hankook dynapro ATM. Been a great tire. All terrain. Had on truck for 3 years and probably 40,000 miles maybe. Still have good tread and even tread left. Idk if I just got lucky and got a golden set or what. But it's nice not having to buy tires for 3-4 years on your diesel. But I don't pull trailers everyday now. Sounds like the discount tire pros need to find a tire for you that works.

They are made by Federal Tire in Taiwan. --Glen
