SS tires - need advice

My regular Bridgestone M726EL's have gone over 400k before I replaced them, and they still had 5/32's left..... I don't like SS tires due to the "egde" wear I see with everyone's and also the fact of getting a flat and being stuck on the side of the road waiting for a repair truck and nice hefty road service charge. I get 7mpg+ with a MBN CAT in a Western Star. I'm happy and feel safer

 

i have michelins and they do the same thing....go back to duals and never look back these things suck

OUCH... that's no good. But at least by going back to duals on the truck you will save some $$$ and also be less constrained on a roadside breakdown

 

I was thinking SS but other than marketing material I have not heard anything good about them on drives but mixed results on trailer. Most issues on drive have to do with traction in snow and rain. Even a little slip and forget about it.

 

I will tell ya something good about them!!!!!! I dont know why there are so many people on here who are either scared of or cant handle SS tires...I get a good chuckle anyways. I bought a used set of Bridgestone Greatec cap's, they had about 80% on em. I blew em up to 130, yes, I said 130 PSI and had a MD alignment done on my truck and have been running the for over a year now. Was at a tire shop about 2 weeks ago for a trailer tire repair and they stuck a depth guage in and I still have 20/32 EVEN tread all the way around. I check em every week, and rotate em every 50K miles. NEVER HAD A PROBLEM!!! One has to be somewhat smart to be able to handle these types of tires...not for steerin wheel holders.
