    The TA here in El Paso has the R280 16ply on sale for $1,300 out the door w/o casing trade. No idea if that's good or bad but the R287 14ply I got in Morris ran me $1,150 about 2 months ago.

    Yeah bit higher than here in Bloomington. $1,200 before casing. I have a couple lines on getting out under a grand on Michelin. I have to double check on the model number. Man, I have a lot of money I need to spend on this hobby.

    Ugh, if the money wasn't so good during harvest I would dread it. I don't work that hard during the year.

    And early tomorrow I have to start delivering 100,000 bushels of corn that is sold for by end of April delivery. This is going to be a grind.

    But good chance I am moving to a step when that is done.

    I tried one of Dunlops steer tire, a 16ply and wasn't worth crap. Running them out on my trailer now.

    Just bought 4 HSR continentals 16ply 11r 24.5's for 2k no casings. Tires sure aren't cheap like they used to be! If I'm gonna pay big money for them I want ones that will last thats for sure!

    LS has a deal going with Contentinal as their preferred tire. I can get a HSL 295/70/22.5 for $325 out the door with our national account. I have them on this new flatbed and I must say they seem to be a heck of a tire and ride nice.
