    I put double coins on the trailer. They are the only tire that has held up to the abuse i put on it from offroad work. Hauling 80k every load. Running mountains and spread axle. Every other tire the tread chips away after 2 months . double coins still look brand new

    They are a brand of tire. I think they are chinese. But in my experience not the cheap chinese brands. A couple other flatbedders on here got them put on the trailer and had good luck with the. Spread axle flatbeds are notoriously bad for chewing up tires. So i took their advice and had some good results with them so far. Im gonna try them on the drives for my next set.

    They are cheap and have bad fuel mileage. But when I lived in Jersey the port drivers said they were tuff. Going into Brooklyn every day. Your fuel mileage will suck any way doing NJ/NYC driving. But the tires didn't get fd like some of the other ones going in and out alleys, over curbs, ect.

    Thank you!

    Haven't heard of them till today, education is a wonderful thing. Who knows, someday I may even pull a spread axle flat bed. So far what I have pulled is fairly limited. Just sort of remain in my small world, it has been working for me thus far.

    I rarely ever pull the company tri axle highboy. Its 3 axles are not spread far apart, nor moveable. They are just grouped together at the back of the 53' trailer, which has a tall deck, over the 24.5 tires. We have no trailers not on 24.5 tires actually, also no trailers with less than 3 axles. We can add the single axle booster to one of our tri axle lowboys if needed, and we have a Super B set of fuel trailers, otherwise all tri axles, alll grouped at the back. Pulling the highboy too often means a load made up of small bits, and a lot of chains or straps, then taking it to some God awful location, having to deal with a fat man when I get there. He will most likely smell, have an enormous ### crack showing, black teeth, and the IQ of a mosquito. This guy will have one mission, and one mission only, and it is to piss me off. For that reason alone, I've only pulled the highboy about 50 days in total.
