    Why didn't you go with diskbrakes?
    They run cooler then drums.

    I pull a low pro Mac and I was wondering if you found a tire that last longer and holds up? I got the Bridgestone 245/70R all the way around now. I’m thinking about trying Michelin’s. And what PSI have you seen that works well?

    I appreciate the information. I run mine at 95PSI. The Bridgestones wear out in the edges as well, I just think didn’t know if it was that brand of tire or just a common thing with 17.5’s.
