Yks--westlake Tires: Heard Of Em?

I neded a set of tires in a hurry after it snowed today. Looked at Walmart truck tires----they looked good with nice blocky lugs and deep tread, but just don't trust Walmart for any quality.
A local goodyear dealer put on a set of Westlake CR-861 235-75r-15 tires at a great price. They are 6 ply with deep tread pattern. They seem to handle really good with a firm ride. The only dislike is the letters on the tire are raised about a good quarter inch off the tire sidewall. Never noticed that when I chose them.
Anyways--decided to look online for some reviews and find no information at all on this particular tire and very little info on the brand itself. Seems to be made by YKS and used more for commercial truck applications.
Has anyone tried these before or heard of the brand? All I can say is the price was right. 120 canadian each--installed, balanced and disposal included.

never heard of them,


they are probably a big name brand tire with a generic name instead

any possibility that you could get some pics?

Can't get a pic--but here is all I found on them. Mine are CR-861s though.

They appear to be a very generic tire, made by various foreign makers. Outside of that, I have never heard anything about them.
