The RoadOne Aethon MT - Is It A Steaming Pile Or A Deal 

Failed to mention these are made in a pirelli factory on pirelli equipment, that’s a solid backing for these tires in my opinion

I've had the Roadone Calvalry 265 75 16 which is almost identical on my lifted 2005 Jeep liberty for just over 2 years now. I live in Denver Colorado and have used them in the mountains on harsh roads, heavy snow, mud and sand, and a lot of highway driving. We get cold winters and hot dry summers and these tires have held up very well. The noise is lower than any m/t I've ever owned and at approximately 17000 miles i have well over half tread remaining. I spent $598 for the set of 4 and another $100 for install and lifetime rotation, balance and flat repair. I would give these a 10 out of 10 rating. If the Aethon are equal to the Cslvalry i will be ordering them for my lifted 02 Silverado 1500 LS. I would recommend these tires to anyone.

Heard nothing but good things about them, from people that ACTUALLY run them.

I dunno. My friend is a distributor for these and talked me into try a set for my 2012 GMC Sierra Z-71 about 2.5 years ago. Mine were the Roadone Calvary M/T in a 305/70/17. Honestly, I didn’t have a lot of confidence in such an inexpensive tire but he promised me my money back so I tried them. The bottom line is they’ve been pretty awesome! Very little road noise. Great traction in mud too. They ride just fine. They seem to be wearing evenly too. I drove this truck with these tires on several 200-300 mile trips with no problems.

I have been running them for about 3 years (on my second set) and after running bfg's and nittos my whole life ( I'm 47 been offroading since I was 16) I am truly extatic about these Chinese tires. I will admit that they don't last quite as long as a set of nittos but I can buy two full sets of five ( I run a full spare on the back) for what I pay for four nittos. Now I get that there is no road warranty which is why I buy 5 tires so my warranty is a full spare on deck at all times which is a way better scenario to me. These tires are also known as crosswind MTs and I highly recommend if your over paying for over priced bfg's.

sooooo, the reason for hating on it is because it isn't an overly complicated, over priced, and hyped up doughnut sold by the big name brand sponsors? sometimes you don't want the fancy features.... sometimes you just want a good tire that is going to do the job without paying an arm and leg.... and a tip, most of the fancy features from the big name brands are selling points and do not work for anything other than driving up price... simple is always better.... and it's a mud tire, it's not supposed to be super silent... if you want silent then stick to street rubber...

I've had the crosswind version witch is the same an honestly it was good. Performed well off road. Lasted about 40k. Just hard to balance out. But overall good tire.

I had a set on my f350 6.0l. I pulled a locked up 40’s coupe up a muddy hill with no issue. The work great in sand and rock as well. They are fairly quiet. Low hum. But it is a very good tire at the price point. The longevity is about what you would expect for a mid price range mt. We didn’t have much snow when I had them, but they did pretty good in about 4” to 6” from experience.

We have these on a 2015 ram 2500, it moves this big diesel truck through huge deep mud without any problems. Even the thicker stuff to the thinner stuff. Never had a problem. There is a decent bit of road noise, but nothin that’s to annoying, def worth it if you have a hunting/work truck. They last a decent bit and even when low on tread they have no problem with mud.

Curious if he is just making this up. Other reviewers say this is a decent tire and it is quite.

These tires are perfect for low end consumer looking for set. My amp is so loud it will drown out tire noise 👍..

I had a set of these in a 37 on a 20 and I will say this guy has no clue what he’s talkin about cause they were the best tire I’ve ever ran lasted longer then any other mud tire I’ve had literally had these tires on pulled out the shop and was driving down the road and they had 0 tire roar and never had any issue in any mud hole I went thru with these even on a 2wd suburban still made it further then any of the 4wd trucks could I love these tires

Got these on my silverado and love them. They are actually quiet.

I have these on my 2007 Chevy Tahoe. Very quiet for a MT and get around great in the snow and mud. Not sure on longevity yet because I haven’t had them long.

I had this tire for 4yrs now and they doing good

I have the road one Calvary and I love them. Was looking at these for my next set of wheels just because they don’t have the size I need in the Calvary’s.

How can you review a tire without actually using it? That’s just some snarky biased judgment on those “overseas” tires.

These are OEM tires, based on Linglong Crosswind MT. You can find more information on Linglong brand. They are pretty well made & good performance for the price. We use them a lot in Thailand especially in Rubber Tree farm, where the rubber latex is harvested to make these tires. Only downside is these are directional tires, good looking, good in mud, but can't rotate so they don't last very long and can be very noisy when they wore out unevenly.

Best mud tires I’ve had. Way cheaper then toyo and never got stuck. Let’s face it they mud tires you shouldn’t expect a highway tire performance. Get the 10ply and you can’t go wrong. Def noisy sound good when you rolling. Quieter than mud graps.

Every video I have watched from this guy, if he don't sell them, he KNOCKS THE SHIT OUT OF THEM. I do not trust anybody like this !!!!!!

I run the 35 x 12.5 x 18's on a 2010 F150 FX4. I had a set of Firestone Destination M/T's and before that BFG K/O's. I love them for what they are and the price. Not my daily driver but would run on a daily driver. Sound like a mud tire. Rotate every 2500. Got about 10,000 on them. Look new.

I could see putting these on a farm truck or a hunting vehicle. Thanks for looking at them and peeling back the curtain on how these tires get to our market.

Had a set of these on a 2000 f150, and they went through snow like nobodies business. Never got to try them on mud. They didn't seem very loud at all.

2nd year here. On a jeep, 100s of miles of Tennessee trails. Not stuck yet. Got 2 more sets when the cost was down ( before Biden).

If you could start adding tire weights and tread depth to these reviews that would be awesome

I run 285/70r/17s on my 04 Tahoe. They are amazing! Only thing, as with most M/Ts when they're brand new, you get no road noise until you get a few miles on them and possibly a little viberation(nothing bad). But if you get them rotated like your suppose too, then they quieten down and the viberation stops again. until time to get the rotated again. As for Highway, I drive 24 miles to work and 24 miles home, so about 50 miles a day just for work. So in a month I'm putting about 1000 miles on them and I have to get a new set just a little over every year. Somewhere around every 1yr and 3-5months. But what can you expect running on a highway all the time. They run great in the mud and snow/ice and offroad. I've yet to get stuck with them and they've helped me pull alot of stuff out of the mud as well. I definitely recommend these tires for low budget tires. My question is, what is the difference between the Aethon M/Ts and the Cavalry M/Ts? LIke looks wise? Cause I'm searching for a couple of new Roadone Aethon 285/70r/17s but I can't seem to find them online anywhere. Only ones I'm coming up with are the Cavalry ones. and they look identical too me

I have those tires on my truck and I love them

Bought these for my jeep, I haven't gotten stuck yet 30000 miles and I'm not even at half tread, drive 1000 miles on the highway every month

Learned my lesson more than once on cheap overseas tires, never again! Buy once, cry once!

I also had a less than half tread set of calvary mt on my f150 that I bought from a friend. They were noticeably louder than the aethon’s maybe the size had something to do with it (33x12.50r20). But the same tread pattern. Those tires were the best cheap mt’s that Ive ever run. I went down logging trails that a toyota pickup or jeep would get stuck on. In 2wd because thats all she was. The only thing to ever stop that truck was digging it down to the frame. If it had a bottom that truck would go through it. Im having similar performance out of the aethon’s now on my OBS.

I have about 15k on my set. 97 ccsb OBS powerstroke. They eat, handle the heavy truck very well, and have barely worn. They are a great tire for the money as I see them. Mostly highway miles but have had it in some nasty fields a few times. 35x12.50R17LT

I've had these for a year now on my 06 1500 4x4 They are a bit noisy on the highway but it's expected. Performs well here in northern MI. Side note. Would not recommend these tires unless you have 4 wheel drive as they do dig quickly

Looks like it may be good for a light farm wagon, like a hay kicker wagon or smaller gravity box. Looks like it could help with sliding around in the mud on a side slope. We used to be able to get LUGRs a heavy tread skinnier tire that worked great on side slopes but cannot find them now for many years. Tires like everything are expensive but I still try to get something made in the USA if I can.

We sell plenty of them. Would rate them higher than Gladiators and Atturo tires.

Bought a 2011 tundra from the dealer used with 80k miles and it came with these in a 33/12.5/17 basically new. They only had 35lbs of pressure when we picked the truck up. I aired them up to around 55-60lbs which they say 65lbs max so maybe my fault but 2 of the 4 bubbled and became impossible to use. I haven’t really seen that in the past but I wouldn’t recommend running high pressure in them 45lbs is probably the sweet spot and this was only used on asphalt.

I have these tires on my truck. It has not been great for me in my 3 years of having them. They are noisy on the highway but a great tire to have.

I've got these tires on my F-150 and they're not even loud at all they're quieter than the toyos I had and so far their lasting a long time

Bought a set of these 2nd hand with only couple hundred miles on them. (they looked nearly new) for a 97 Cherokee. Very noisy, but seem to handle well. Paid $150 for all 4 with cheapy Ranger rims. Been about 6 months now, and no noticable wear. Havent been in deep mud yet, but for daily driver tires, they work great! Look good too.

These are Pirelli tires for the Asian market. Do you even understand the tires that you review or do you just go into this blindly?? I seriously don't believe Pirelli would make something that would give them a bad name so, you might want to do some research.

Name brand companies also sell dealership tires. There is no worse tire than the wrangler sra. Maybe the thornbird is worse. Toss up. Both good for a tire swing. And alot of big companies are made in china now anyway. If you get longevity for cheap than who cares. I've been through a lot of brands and notice no difference between a sweat shop tire and a full price american made tire. Either or can last along time. Just read the reviews. And don't believe the million mile review experts who drive 55mph in the flat plains of texas and claim to get over 60k out a set of tires. Can't leave out the people who put km as miles.

Maybe you want to take a stab at explaining the DOT requirements information listed on the tire and the plant code shows where a tire is made for those that want to look for USA tires. I have the list of over a thousand plant codes sorted by country if you need it. I do not run in to many people that know what Title 49 is for the Federal regulations or that there are so many requirements for tire makers and sellers.

It's right up there with toyo I'm my opinion had one last 2 years on a going out wheel bearing non rotated due to COVID. I'ma buy another set for the 4wd S10 I just got 10 ply hell theyll outlast the truck being on an S10.

I like em. I sat my 05 on the spare in mud. A cold beer and root digging with them Road ones ! WE GOT OUT in about 5min on tha rev limiter😂😂😂😂😎😎😎😎😎

I’ve had 2 sets and I would never consider to go back to BFG‘s I have to run in the road one’s 90 mph on my third GEN Tacoma you can’t hear the tires you can’t tell that you’re on a mud terrain tire I have yet to get stuck in snow mud or sand they don’t break loose on wet roads and if you do more digging these tires are made with Perelli Tools I wish people that did tire reviews would actually drive on what they are review and so they had a true understanding of what they were talking about and not what BFG oratorio advertisements told them.

The comments are better at reviewing than the video. They sound like a good tire according to the comment section, especially at the price point.

It's a shame but it appears alot of dealers /distributors hype up many of the other brands.

Love this real world test

I'm hearing a lot of good things about these tires, but I just would like to ask as a person who is considering purchasing these would they be good for a someone just putting around town and going no further than 20-30 miles from home or should I look else wear, probably not going to do much off-roading just like the look and price. If someone could shed some light that would be great!

So do they grip good on cement? I have a tug a truck and Iam thinking of getting theses

These tires aren’t for gravel roads, they will hold rocks and sling them out going down the road, if I keep them imma have to do some shaving out.

Have these in my f150 and they are chop city. I doubt I’ll ever buy another set. Went to Five places trying to get them balanced after eventually just giving up. Seeing 30 oz of weights on my rims makes me physically nauseated…

I'm going to buy a set for my truck

How about the radar renegade rt?

Great honest review!

I wouldn't buy cheap tires. You end up spending more money in the long run. Thanks for the look see Matt.

Какая глубина протектора по центру

notice the load rating is F rated..

You killed when you said: "blazing pile of manure". Personally wouldn't bother with them but they have a market... Thanks for the review.

Steaming pile.

Let me take a guess, this tire comes from a country that starts with "C"!!
