    What do you guys use for drive and steer (floats) tires on a 4 axle truck? What seems to last the longest?

    Yokahama has some good tires and they have a low rolling resistance by floats I assume super singles. I can't help on that everyone that I know used Michelin.
    A couple people use continental tires but I do not know how they hold up mileage wise.

    That's the draw back get a lot of edge wear on the steers, I get about 150,000 out of them then move them back to the lift or cap them depends how worn they are. it saves me some money being able to reuse them. I do get good money on my casings as well
