Update...
Well it's been a while and I now have 78,000 miles on the TR-100s on the steer axle. Out of 14/32" tread depth new, they are at 10/32" now with no weird wear patterns. (s/a wt. typically 11,500#,,,psi @110#)
Performance on ice/snow/rain is very good.
I own 18 of these and wouldn't want anything else.
Ya'll have a great day!

I used them on my last truck running out west coast back east. They did great with the desert heat and snow up in the NW. Never had a blowout I traded the truck in had 140,000 miles with 8/32" tread with no irregular wear. When these wear out Ill go back to DC.

They are on sale at Loves right now. About $300 a piece. I need 4 trailer tires and am going to get them while they're on sale. The Loves in Rhome, TX had a sign for an additional $40 off so they were $262 each. Can't beat that price and I wish I had time yesterday to get them put on.

I have two 255/70 22.5 on my step trailer. I usually use Firestone 560 or Bridgestone, but have had really good mileage from Yokohama as well. But with Yoko's the cheapest at $360, the Double Coins do have a significant price advantage.
I've got about 25k miles on the Double Coins so far and they are doing pretty good. I wont know how they really stand up compared to the others for at least another 10 - 12 months,.. if they make it that long. We'll see.
