GARBAGE E30 TIRE - NONE OF 4 COULD BE BALANCED
These are junk tires. My installer could not balance any of them properly. He got them as close as he could but they were trash direct from the manufacturer. Worse still, if you let the car sit and don't drive it for 5 or more days, they flat spot very very bad. If you've ever wondered what it's like to drive on square tires, buy yourself a set of these MAXXIS MA-202 tires.

maxxis Bought tire form wall mart very bad exprien
Hello,
I purchased MAXXIS Bravo from Walmart, but my 2019 F-350 shakes uncontrollably when driving over bumps, which feels dangerous. I only used it for 2 months. When I emailed Walmart about the issue, they told me to contact the manufacturer. The manufacturer then gave excuses and directed me back to Walmart. I ended up buying Nitto Ridge Grappler tires, and my truck performs like never before. Be aware and do not invest your money in this product. MAXXIS bad
Thanks,
Alvi

I have not mounted the tires I received because I am deeply upset that they are date coded as 7 years old!
