I lucked into finding this company because I needed two front tires and was low on cash. I was able to buy and make reasonable payments. I will use them again.

The Mastercraft Courser Trail is an all-terrain tire that is designed for use on light trucks and SUVs. These tires offer better traction and handling performance on- and off-road plus a mileage warranty.
Can this all-terrain tire offer your vehicle needed on- and off-road traction? To decide, let's take a look at a Mastercraft Courser Trail Tire review.
Features and Benefits
Off-road circumstances call for all-terrain tires, which also offer a number of other advantages. The Mastercraft Courser Trail Tires are designed for all terrains and can be utilized both on and off-road. They offer better traction on dry, wet, and lightly snow-covered surfaces. By learning the features and benefits of these tires you can better understand them.
- Better all-terrain traction: An aggressive tread design improves traction on challenging off-road surfaces like soft, muddy, and unsteady surfaces. Thanks to the drive's tight surface grip. The tread blocks guarantee the tire's grip in thick muck and loose dirt. In addition, Stone Armour ribs between tread blocks drive mud, dirt, gravel, stones, and other material out of the tread.
- Enhanced all-season traction: Tread pattern and all-season grip enhance traction in dry, rainy, and icy conditions. Throughout the year, the tread pattern can precisely match the terrain's surface, and the rubber compound keeps its flexibility in a range of temperatures. By distributing water and slush from beneath the footprint, wide grooves further reduce the risk of hydroplaning.
- Increased controllability: Tread components maintain constant touch with the road surface and this enhances steering response and driving stability. This improves the steering's accuracy and response time to the driver's orders, and it also protects the structure from driving pressure. In addition, the tread features like Spiky tread edges bite into the road to improve acceleration and braking ability on slippery conditions.
- Longer lasting tread life: The tread pattern and rubber compound extend the life of the tire. While tread design distributes driving pressure uniformly along the tread the compound decreases the rate of treadwear. Reduced and even wear greatly improves tire usability and extends tread life.
- Quiet drive: Courser Trail also has noise barrier walls that reduce wind noise, resulting in a calm and comfortable trip for drivers and passengers. While the tires are in motion, the tread design directs airwaves, preventing them from colliding with tread parts and causing noise.

Great tires and affordable
Ran theses on my truck and within 10k miles they were over halfway worn and god forbid you go off road I got three flats in a week with these tires on a rough dirt road.
replaced my fast wearing OE bridgetones with these at 28K. now I have 48K on them and they have more than half tread left. They keep balance. Ride smooth and quiet. no flats or shimmys. just rotate them and balance at 10K. Will definately replace with these again. Tread is tough and ive had it on rough roads for hundreds of miles - no missing chunks or cuts. ive curbed them more than a couple times in ATM drivethroughs and you cant see the scuff on the tire or rim. Well made tire for a 4x4 lifted truck that runs WV to NC mountain roads a lot and spends 9 mos a year in FL heat/rains. These will be a repeat buy. so happy I found them.
Have had these tires on my GMC Sierra 1500 for 5,000 miles and have gone through dirt roads and heavy snow. I've had no problems with traction. Road noise is very low and the ride is extremely comfortable. Recommend it to anyone.
Poor winter traction. If you live somewhere where you get snow or ice I don't recommend. Even though it is severe snow rated that is bad rating system that is only done by the individual manufacture's and there is no industry standard. I've had to use my driving skills to get out of slippery situations. I would say from my personal experience the Wildpeak AT Trail has better winter traction. The Wildpeak AT Trail still is nowhere as good as a true stud free winter tire. But for sure better than these Mastercraft's. I plan to get winter tires for next winter and use these as a three season tire until there is not much tread left. I'm also someone that is very used to driving in the snow and ice having grown up in Massachusetts and someone that drives a lot including on stormy days. I frequently travel to Vermont, New Hampshire, New York state to go skiing.
