I recently found that my local Farmer's Co-op will mount/dismount for $25/tire. They cannot balance them though. They really do more stuff like farm trucks and tractors. I'm in a pretty good size town too, by the way, not out in the sticks. He mounted 3 used trailer tires for me not long ago. He'll be my go to for rotations meaning I might actually get them done from now on. It's about 1 mile from my house.
Also, I paid dearly for these Michelins trying to solve my current problem but I might try other tires in the future, meaning I might mail order them. Simple tire has truck tires and their prices are competitive.
If I get some beads or Centramatics maybe I can try it without needing someone who can balance tires.
Anybody seen this before?

Last truck was a 2019 and ran to about 150k
This is a 2021 and trailer a 2018
I run the centramatics and align everything front to back about every 6 months or earlier I’d I know I ran a lot of bad roads
I think anyone who has wear issues needs to search out that old guy type alignment shop
A friend was having all sorts of issues running straight until he found some guy who didn’t just look at screens but I think he would drive it. Make adjustments. Drive and adjust until he had it correctTug Toy, slow.rider, 86scotty and 1 other person Thank this. -
