I'm shopping for new set of steers. I have 275/80\22.5 Michelin x line right now.
Last time I bought them a set of two ran me around $1400 installed. Called several shops and they're $1800 now.
They also have ironman (Chinese?)
Continental, Goodyear $1956 out the door and Yokohama for $1372 out the door.
These are 16 ply tires. Should I try Yokohama or its not worth it?

Michelin are going to last almost twice as long as either of those other two so still the best bang for your buck. At least from what I have seen on my truck.

We’ve had good luck with Hankook in both steer and drive positions

I always had good much with the H rated Yokohama’s on my FLD. I tried some Conti’s on my last 579 and they didn’t last for nothing. Went back to Michelin. If your truck is aligned well and you’re going to get some serious miles out of them then Michelin’s will be worth their money. But if you’re only going to get 100k or less out of them then one of the cheaper options would suit you better.

Toyo M154. Any W9 that I have owned would eat up steers. Usually cupping on the outside ribs. I’m having great luck with the Toyos. Short haul primarily. Not perfect but the best bang for buck.
