Dextero A/T

[Lockasiam]

Recently picked up a 99 XJ for 500 bucks. It came with some brand new (>2k assumed miles) Dextero A/T 235/75R15s mounted on the ugliest Jeep wheels I ever seen. Having dealt with cheap Chinese tires (ironhead) before, are these gonna be a concern at any point in their tread life? Those ironheads performed like trash and didn’t even last 2 years under moderate driving. This Jeep will definitely be off road

The Dextero should be virtually identical to the GT Adventuro ATX... just with a different name stamped on the sidewall.
The good news is, that they likely were made in a plant in South Carolina.
Congratulations. It looks like you got a $320 set of tires on a $500 vehicle.

Not sure if this is related to these specific tires but the plant code for the Dextero product is 179 which would be a Chinese facility. The GT Radial is plant code 1Y9 which is Indonesia. The SC plant that makes some of the Dextero tires is the GITI tire facility over near Richburg (south of Rockhill) off of I-77. They manufacture a decent and affordable tire but you have to seek out the specific products produced at their SC plant. Look for Dextero tires with a plant code of 01B if you want a South Carolina produced product.

I'm currently on my second set of those in the same size. I've yet to have an issue with them.

Those aren't ugly wheels IMO, just need some "JEEP" center caps. Nice rig, enjoy.

They were all super destroyed so I tossed them. I like steelies better anyways

Just checked and they are with a 0421 date code.

Check the 3 character code directly to the right of where it says DOT

Mine are 01B with a 0421 date code.

Those dexteros are not super aggressive and they should be fine for your use, but I would not expect more than 25k miles from them

I put dextero tires on my jeep a while back. Seems to be wearing fine although the balance doesn't stay. One of them was slipping on the rim but I think thats from the lube the shop used to mount them. Other than that they seem ok,

I figured pretty much lol

I have pretty easy access to a tire balancer so that’s not the worst issue for me
