    I think Michelins are overrated. If you have a truck you don’t run that many miles, they will rot before they wear out.

    We have always mostly run Bridgestone, but are slowly switching to Continental. I know for a trailer tire, noting holds up as well as Continental.

    Michelins are on the backorder everywhere and I am putting Conti HS3 today to try out.
    X Line Energy Z is a great tire, I totally would get them again, but I really can't wait, so hopefully these Contis work out well

    That's due to tariffs with China....

    I just bought 8 brand new AmeriSteel 460 drive tires. General/Continental brand. USA made. Gonna see how they work out. But today’s market with commercial tires have been an issue.

    Since we do local hauling, I’m thinking of trying the Continental HS3 or HSR2 for the steers in H rating 16 ply.

    My truck is currently on its second set of Road Masters and the last set only went 32,000 miles.

    Our tire guy blamed my truck. I blame the tires and don’t want them again.
