Default *****atturo tire warning*****

I wanted to reach out to the community and let you guys know about the experience that I had with Atturo. I purchased a set of wheels and tires from Custom Offsets. The wheels and tires came mounted and balanced and shipped on a pallet and delivered via 18 wheeler. I did the lift and installed them with no real issue. Got an alignment, and all was good. Drove them just under 10k miles and decided to get another alignment, tire rotation and balance. Took the truck to the local dealership, Alignment was dead on, but when they went to balance, they found 3 of the 4 tires were "out of round". Basically explained it to me that 2 of them were really bad and the 3rd was in the "yellow". Apparently by dumb luck, I put the 2 that were really bad on the rear, and that was why I didnt really feel it. When they rotated them to the front, it was apparent and was causing vibration in the steering wheel. The dealership said that the tires being out of round could not have been anything that I could have caused, or could have been a result of the suspension of the truck......simply a manufacture defect. They suggested that I reach out, and see if they would warranty them (likely a pro-rate). I called Custom Offsets, and they started that process. After about a week, they responded and said that the manufacture would not cover anything.......not even a pro-rate. They did offer to sell me any set of tires at "their cost". I had them quote me a set of Nitto's.......and with as many tires and wheels as they sell, I figured that I would get some kind of deal......instead, they quoted me MORE than what the local dealership was.....NOT including shipping. Just a heads up, be careful when you make your purchase........I honestly really like the look of the Atturo tire and was pleasantly surprised to find that they were cheaper than the Nitto......but just pony up and buy a trusted brand....it will save you a bunch of headache, and a pocket full of money in the long run!

Aturro? Never heard of them. That would have been my first concern.

They're a tire a lot of the Mopar dudes like because they have some cheap low-profile, wide tires.. and certain sizes of them are developing long cracks in the treads. This has been posted about quite a bit maybe a year or so ago, and some people have started avoiding the brand altogether - but other people, well you can't tell them anything. Cheap is all some care about.

I know Atturo off-road tires are horrible, I can only imagine the street tires aren't much better.

And this is why I don't mail order tires...
I was getting tires through a Wholesaler until I had a sidewall Blow out. Guess who was stuck holding the repair bill as a result?
Was a trip for work, Had to get 2 tires from Walmart. A whole new fiasco as I later found out they were an exclusive tire to Walmart... had a stem rot out and leave me with a flat one morning.

Long story short, I now only deal with my local tire shop.

I've had 3 sets of mud tires on my regular cab, all have been good tires. No balance issues, wear is equal to the Nittos I run on my Duramax. I like them, look good and I don't mind power sliding burns out with them bc they are only 880 a set for 33 x12.50 MT's and I can't tell the diffreence between the 2200 dollar Nittos on the 2500. I drag race and DD with them and I have zero complaints...

I had the Atturo on my last Denali when it was totaled. They didn't balance very well but it wasn't the worse thing I've every had.

Now I have the Federal Xplora MT I thinking. Now these are terrible tires!!! They don't balance worth a crap and are very heavy. I got them on sell when I bought my rims and didn't do my research. I'll be going back to the Nito Ridge Grapplers. They are close to 20 pounds lighter for basically the same size tire. I had them before I got these rims on a 17" rim and a 285/75 and they road really nice.
