    We are Michelin national account so pricing is better, but CPM Michelin was cheaper. On 425 floats, I have found the Toyo M320 is same cost as running the Michelin XZY3. The Toyo M920 has been doing well for us too.

    The Toyo M920 you posted looks good in pictures. I wonder if the Toyo M320 is better than the road masters 425 WB we are using for our dump trucks.

    For my personal vehicles, Toyos are what I put on. I use MT’s for my pickup, and looking to buy either the H/T or AT for my suv.

    For the big trucks, I’ve got no experience with Toyos.

    One reason I like the Continentals... They really stand out. A6463078-F2E4-4134-A006-881FB1B58152.png 406FC016-3E0A-4B3B-9A74-449BC244D62F.png

    All 8 of the drives are in good condition with no funny wear.

    That is a Hendrickson suspension. Very special to align. Best left alone if the tire wear is not severe. Euclid makes eccentric caps to go in the ends of those. Can easily turn into several thousand dollars.

    Good to know. It’s been a very good suspension for this truck so far.

    1.7 million k on this truck.

    I rotate the drive tires when needed to be done.

    I love how this truck drives down the road.

    No shaking other than the road itself.

    All the other tractors are air ride and I’m driving this one.
