Factory second tires or "blems" usually give as good service as the best rated ones. But there are tires that are made to sell for a lower price that are often pretty crappy.
Chinese tires can range from adequate to horrible.

I've experience with buying tires :)

1. Used tires are usually not good for SUV's for a variety of reasons other than money
2. New tires are sold all over the country at prices that to me (as a European) seemed to be on par with prices here.
3. SUV tires are expensive (I know :)) but they should not be skimped on if you drive any distances.

I was wondering about this too as I need some for my explorer. Have you shipped them in before?
I just assumed because of the weight and more so, the bulkiness, it might not be cost effective.
Then again, they are being imported from outside the DR.

I have shipped in - 8 tires / 4 per car.

I buy from Tire Rack and get free shipping to my mudanza - they arrive at the door.
The mudanza seems to have tires every time I'm there so it seems to be popular.

many Chinese tires here..... low grade stuff.

I forget what the shipping $$ were - sorry but call any mudanza for a price.

I bought here once - the 1st time... the tires lasted no time... not 20,000 miles
that's why I switched

Discount tire/tire rack is good, or even sears for u.s. sellers. For that size tire , bf goodrich at ko are the best. The hummer h2 wears these tires.
i did pick up a cheapo rethread from threadwright.com, very good quality, long lasting for under $500 a set. In the dr, ask around for hummer tires for the best leads.
