Affordable 18" tire?

I am looking for some new all terrain tires for my 18" fx4 wheels about 32-33 inch diameter. Cheapest I have found are about $800. I know this is average but does mastercraft or any other cheaper brands make 18" all terrain tires? Looking to get into some new tires for 650-700 dollars, is this possible? Thanks for the help.

Check prices at 4Wheel Parts. They regularly have buy 3 get 1 free sales on Pro Comp Tires. Also check Discount Tire for the Cooper AT's. They usually have good prices.

I got 4 Goodyear Wrangler Silent Armour 275/65/18 mounted, OTD for $750. Yes it was my buddies shop, but just looking at tirerack I think you can get close. Great tire too.

If you pay for the cheaper tires now, they will wear quicker and maybe crap quality (i.e. weak spots creating random blowouts). Since you put not only your expensive truck on these tires but also your life and anyone else riding with you, you may not want to skimp on them. Buying quality tires now, will not only give you peace of mind while driving down the road but may also save you money (will NOT wear as quickly as cheap-o tires) Something to think about. Too many people buy the cheapest tire posible then complain when ride quality sucks or they dont last or they begin to wear in some weird way. You get what you pay for. Just my 2 cents. Goodluck bud.
P.S. i am hearing some bad things about those silent armors. the guy across the street was having one hell of a time trying to balance a set... just fyi (also heard PLENTY of great things about em... just do your research)

Firestone Destination A/T is probably the best value tire. It's a very good AT tire at relatively good prices.

sorry, but very drunk and lately I've been very irritated by this. Your post should be titled tire to fit 18" rim, cuz an 18" tire belongs on a gremlin
