Apache Tires?

Been browsing Craigslist for new tires that I'll need come the spring, and I came across a set for relatively cheap. Guy sent me this photo:

He wants $200 for 4 with the rims, and I have no interest in the rims so I'm going to try to see if I can take just the tires for less.

The issue is, I can find minimal info on Apache tires. Anyone ever heard of them/have ANY information? The one review I found said they were made by "General" who produces dirt-cheap malformed tires and shaves them, and as a result that Apache tires are a shaved vibrating nightmare of rotating rubber.

Looking for second opinions.

They don't look like they'd be worth spending the money to mount to me...

Yeah, keep looking. I found a similar deal on some Avons. I know Avans are a great motorcycle tire, but couldn't find any info on them for vehicles.

I kept looking and I just got (4) 37" BFG A/T KOs for $200 off craigslist

Alright, thanks guys. He told me he won't separate them anyway.

While I have found the same info you have provided about General tires, I would like to say I had a set of Apache's on my 94 Cherokee and it was un stoppable in the snow while on the road and in some fairly nasty mud while deer hunting.

I never had any problem with vibration or any bad characteristics, I just bought a set of General grabber A/T 2’s for my 94 Explorer the grabber 2’s look very similar to the Apache. I would have bought the Apache’s but last I checked they are only being sold in Mexico.

But I think he is asking too much for the tires, being that they are used and I only gave $300.00 for mine new 4 years ago.

Honestly, these are a nice set of (5) five new wheels and tires I found on Craigslist. The bolt pattern is 5 on 5.5 though, but what a deal!

Yea, I'm gonna keep searching. I'm not paying for rims I don't want and tires that could potentially be bad and are relatively cheap new anyway. I scour Craigslist daily for 33s. I figure sooner or later I'll stumble upon a steal. Anticipate more threads of this nature in the future from me.

And I'm gonna pass on the 53s.
