How much does a pair of Michelin steer tires cost with the LCAPP discount at the TA? Mine are running low and yesterday a mixer blew out a tire as soon as he cut in front of me. His gator sliced a slit on the side wall of my driver side steer tire and I do not want to be placed out of service for it

I got mine done at TA east in Ontario back in May. Two Michelin XZA3+ and a three axle alignment was 1200.00 with LCAPP. Full price was over 1500.00 but with the LS discount and a little trade in money for my old steers it got the price down. They are taking 200.00 a week out of my settlement until its covered. You will like the XZAA3+ steers,I have heard of guys getting 250k+ out of them as long as you keep them at 110psi and watch for irregular wear.russellkanning and Dewey120 Thank this. -
Normally T/A only wants to give you $50 for a casing. I have gotten on the cb before and sold that tire for $100 to another driver who was happy to buy that tire.

I finally got my last repair loan paid off but it looks like I will be paying off another one for those steers. Needed my EGR valve and EGR cooler replaced. Paid $3K out of pocket and got a $1K loan from Landstar. The 18% interest rate seemed kind of high but I needed the green quick.

Why are you guys ''running on empty''.??....

At least to the driver that is. Rates aren't so bad. It's what is left over for the o/o after all the middlemen get their cut that sucks. -
Its hard to get ahead when you have to replace a 600.00 steer tire with 20,000 miles on it because of road debris. I have the same clip of nails in my left front wide single. My Goodyear wide singles have puncture protection and are sold as self sealing. Do you guys think I should pull all the nails and see what happens or look for a used wide single. My drives have 90,000 miles on them. The pic is the steer I replaced but the pattern is the same on the wide single.
Dewey120 Thanks this. -
Wow, that's crazy! I guess I can't complain about my steers after seeing that pic!
Desert_Skies Thanks this.
