Steer tire question

Yokos are interesting. It was a primary steer on our tractor about a year. I was on ice in nevada bond warehouse after loading in Cherries, the little round cherries served at bars very expensive freight. That ice caused a problem in steering and we got through it. However the side walls of the tires were damaged becuase of large inputs on the steering wheel needed to hold her straight against the slope of gravity. (Does that make sense to you?) FFE Swapped it out with another set of Yokos brand new and we aint had no trouble with it.

I like em. But it's a little bit of a rub against my red blooded american feelings.... but not too much.

 

Lol I get you, at 72 miles an he about 79000 I lost my good year it was my first steer in almost 26 years of driving, I told my wife it was not my time to go, good was on my side because I heard it and pull over and check every single tire and did not see any one flat so I went back in and head south for 5 miles I then decide to get fuel at the pilot off 85 #129, as I pulled in to fuel my front feel to the ground and I got out and yes it was already blown out, anthill this day don't know how it happened that was I just thank god, the other thing was at the pilot I call there guy he came down from 160 an I told him replaced the other one two, but because it was at the location no road call hell t-a want almost 700 plus the tire

 

You still at ffe

 

Admin, why did the word "chunk" get edited?

 

I don't know if rocks wedged in the tread grooves contribute to that or not, but I'm forever prying the rocks out of said grooves when I see them in there.
I think one of my steers has a small divet in it too. Nowhere near the bottom of the groove like that. But I've had Pilot's do that very thing that is in the OP's picture. Drove 'em til Spring and replaced them.

 

My Michelen steer failed tonight. New couple months ago. Not sure what caused it to go Kaboom!

 

That sucks. Much fender damage? Need new rim too?
How fast were you going?

 

Seeing the snow Im guessing you took a chain link thru the tread.

 

Doing about 60mph. Fender quarter is no longer secured to inner fender. Could have been ugly. That s where tire landed. Laying against fuel tank.

 

We dont use chains in Ontario. Not allowed.
