    You run the same tire year round then?

    I'm running out my XDS2 this summer and haven't seen any worse mpg because of it.

    These are what I'm running on our 12 yd dump truck hauling aggregate and doing demolition work. Were new on the truck when we bought it 5 years ago. Running in Texas heat. Only have had 2 problems with them. First when the DA driver (me) cut sidewall on a piece of rebar and second I can't find a replacement in 11r24.5 since I'm down to 7/32 on the last original. If my tire guy can find them again, I'll put another set on

    My trailer came with Double Coins, can't complain about them at all. Except that they're Chinese.

    I have no complaints on the ride of my truck. Just looking to squeeze fuel mileage out of it.

    The alternative for a drive tire is an RLB400 that's about 5 bucks more per tire.

    Looks like a knock off of the Goodyear that's on it now.

    Dad's truck has RR150 all around and he's had no issues and they didn't take any weight or beads put in and they ride smooth. I don't care for the zip zag tread or the rounded look. I'd rather have a square edge like the toyo m154 that's on my steer axle. But since it's a 22.5 and I'm switching out to all 24.5 I'll just go with new steers as well.

    That's my complaint.

    At one point double coin and Michelin had a joint venture on passenger tires.

    I bumped it up after I came back out to check it.

    That's what we are doing today. Tires are just another gotta get item and was looking for what wouldn't hurt my already terrible mileage.
