Mastertrack BADLANDS AT LT235/85R16 Set of 2 - Quiet, Heavy-Duty

In this review of the Mastertrack BADLANDS AT LT235/85R16 set of 2 the bottom line is simple: these are an affordable, heavy-duty all-terrain tire choice for light trucks and SUVs that need durable load capacity and quiet on-road manners. The reviewer found the single biggest reason to buy is the combination of a 10-ply Load Range E construction with a high load index that supports towing or heavy loads while remaining notably quiet in normal driving. The set ships as tires only, so buyers should plan for separate wheel mounting.

Key Features

• Size LT235/85R16: Delivers a 31.73 in overall diameter that fits many 16 in wheel applications for light trucks and SUVs.
• Load Range E, 10 ply: Provides heavy-duty carcass strength that benefits drivers who carry cargo or tow, giving more durable sidewall support.
• Load Index 120/116: Supports substantial vehicle weight per tire (up to the listed single and dual values), making these suitable for heavier duty SUV and light truck use.
• Speed Rating S: Rated to 112 mph for safe highway use when driven within limits, offering expected stability at typical road speeds.
• Mastertrack Road Hazard Warranty: Adds protection against certain on-road damage, reducing the concern of unexpected repair costs.
• Tire only, wheel not included: Leaves buyers free to reuse existing rims or choose new wheels to match vehicle style and fitment.

Who It's For

These tires suit owners of light trucks and SUVs who need a rugged, higher-load all-terrain option without paying a premium brand price. The combination of a 10-ply rating and high load index makes them a practical option for towing, hauling, or carrying heavier loads while still wanting reasonable on-road comfort.

Drivers seeking a specialized mud-terrain tread for extreme off-road use or those who want a factory-branded premium tire for warranty resale value should look elsewhere. Also, because the product ships as tire only, buyers who need immediate mounted wheels should factor in extra mounting time and cost.

Pros & Cons
