    I looked at them when i was getting ready to put new drives on my truck. They replaced the G362 and G372 in Goodyear's lineup.
    As your profile shows you in Ohio, I assume you'll be driving in snowy winter conditions more than a few times during the year. Same here.

    I didn't like the G572's because they have too few voids in the tread to allow self cleaning of snow. I wouldn't expect anything you could call 'traction' from them in snow & ice.

    I'd lean more towards a Michelin XDN2, Bridgestone 726EL, Continental HDL Eco Plus, or anything along those lines.

    What kind of driving are you doing? What part of the country? Flatbed? Van? Tanker?

    thanks displaced yooper.
    did you go with the g572 and if so how do you like them.
    I will be driving in OH MI IN PA mostly, short runs with a dry van. I have goodyears g372s and have no problems with them in the snow but they have big lug with large voids to bad they do not make them any more.

    Dunlop SP 464 is suppose to be the same as the Goodyear 372 or what ever drive. http://www.dunloptrucktires.com/technology/sp464.aspx
    I do not have either, but the tread blocks look different. The Goodyear shop in Austintown, OH told me to go with those instead of the 572's if I wanted to save $100 per tire. I passed, but it may be something you will want to look into.

    If you are looking for traction, the Michelin XDN2 & Bridgestone 726EL are virtually the same price. Unless you have a corporate discount of some sort, which changes everything

    No, I didn't get the G572's. I decided to make the switch to super singles, & got G392 445/50-22.5's.
