    What are the best tires in your opinion?
    I figured the Cummins had a lot of props with my maxxforce but I thought they addressed that

    Your gambling on a company who failed to produce a longevity motor, who'd sunk millions into its initial production. Just because it gets a new, re-worked version number, doesn't mean it's still not the old piece of #### motor it started as.

    Your call at the end of the day. Doesn't effect us any.
