Default milestar patagonia M/T

I am looking to upgrade tires soon and found these:https://www.walmart.com/ip/Milestar-...&wl13=&veh=sem

Does anyone have any experience with them? I figured at that price there wasnt much to lose. I really like the way they look but will I notice a decrease in performance If my current tires are firestone destinations but im not sure on how to read tire size but I do know that my current tires are 15. Im not sure if they are 30 or 31s though.

Had a set of these on a bronco. They're very hard compound and will last forever, but they're shitty in the snow and tend to lose traction in the rain VERY easily. Also, very noisy.

What type of driving do you do? If you're just a pavement warrior, these will be fine and will last a while.

If you deal with inclement weather and want to get any grip on anything other than pavement, keep looking. You get what you pay for, and if you're paying <$150 for a "mud" tire, it's not gonna be a great performer.

Look into Hercules brand tires. Specifically the Terra Trac series. I just got a set of their T/G Max Tires for $112 each (plus instillation) for my jeep, and took them off road, and they performed great.

Well im dealing with good old nebraska wheather- where you experience days where you need to turn on your ac in the morning and heat at night or vice versa. we get some crazy weather here including lots of snow and ice so I guess I will look at different tires unless someone else decides to chime in and give a different opinion. kind of dissapointed I liked the looks and the price of these but I guess i will have to look in a different direction for a tire that looks like a BA mud tire but performs well in snow and ice all for a good price.
