    I think you will get a faster response and more replies if this is posted to the "Experienced Drivers" section or the Owner-Operator section, or the Heavy Duty Diesel Truck Mechanics section.

    I believe if you send a message to @REO6205 and ask him to move your question to the appropriate forum he will move it for you. I think they don't want the same question posted in multiple forums, but I could be wrong. I know I was shopping for tire chains for the truck and trailer tires and some tires have the same dimensions but have different numbers on the tire sidewall.
     
    Rideandrepair Thanks this.
