Good question. I plan on doing the same, will watch for what guys suggest here. They look pretty similar.

I am running crossfires on drive axles and trailer axles. The tires have worn evenly. Better than I expected. Drawback is if you have a leaking tire it is harder to detect.
They performed perfectly when I cut a tire on the interstate at 70 and experienced a blowout. One tie totally down while one only lost about 5 lbs of pressure. Sure makes it easy to check the pressure, just take a peek as you walk around. -
How about installation papa....
Difficult? Do it yourself type of deal or what? -
Definitely a do it yourself deal from what I have seen,......
-
Yeah I have crossfires installed on all drives.
They do work out great, my only complaint is that the braided air tubes were so long I had to offset me wheels by 1 hole so the tubes did not rub on the wheel rim.
I also installed centrematics at the same time, about 235,000 on drives at moment, starting to show slight signs of wear but still got at least 10/24 left on all tires
Also am running the XDA Energy tires.
Yes you can instally yourself, I was just to lazy.Gears Thanks this. -
Do the crossfires allow you to inflate both tires simultaneously?
-
Sure Do, Thats 1 reason I like them...
-
Gonna buy a few sets myself now, that's a huge selling point. Not sure why they don't advertise that as one of the features.

Somewhere online I saw some valve caps with LEDs in them that would "remember" the psi that they were installed at and if it dropped by either 5 lb or 5% a light would either come on or flash. Sounded pretty slick.
