What is the cheapest/affordable M/T Tire out there???

Hey guys looking to change my tires out purely for looks..I have some Hankook A/Ts right now and want to replace them with MTs purely for looks.I never do any kind of serious off roading at all..I hardly ever even get into a bad enough situation where i have to shift into 4wd etc..just want the beefy tire look for a very affordable price..i dont commute very far at all either..does anyone have any suggestions??????? thanks

What size you running? **** Cepek Mud Countries, or Goodyear Duratracs are always good options...

my only issue is cheapest vs quality. Im sure you can get cheap(er) ones, but what is worth the money and will last at least a little while

Yokohoma Geolander m/ts. I think I paid around 200 for a tire for mine. They have about 25k on them now and look like they're a bit under half tread.

I don't know how y'all feel about retreads, but www.treadwright.com has the original Goodyear MT/R in a 315/75/16 for $152 a tire. Actually, not to threadjack, but for the greater good...what does everyone think about treadwright retreads?

Not a fan of retreads, maybe for farm use or something but not for a daily driver. Two tires that come to mind that are easier on the pocket but still good tires are the Maxxis Bighorns and the Firestone Destination M/Ts.

Mastercraft courser m/t's aren't bad either. Those were the first set of 35's I had on my truck, they wore great, and weren't too loud either.

My neighbor has Mastcraft's on his truck. And has run them into the ground over the years and have lasted pretty long. I'm running Federal Couragias, and they've been great so far. 6K hard miles and still look like they rolled off the UPS truck.
