[AT] tire brand

[Spencer Yost]

Yeah, all of my fronts have been Carlisle for years as has implement tires.  Like Aaron, no complaints.  I was aware they made rears, but locally Samson tires were a better buy the last time I bought new rears. That was about three years ago.   

Price leadership, brand popularity, dealer support, all that stuff comes and goes. Just go with your gut and drive the heck out of them...
