Kevin Rutherford? Good info or not?

I went back to the trailer and checked, they are HSR2 tires, sorry about that. LS uses them on all their spread axle trailers.

They do make an HSL2 but that is a steer tire. Thru LS the HSL2 is $400 each

 

My last set lasted me over 250k doing regional work so i can not complain. have good luck with Firestone also.

 

Maybe i'll just buy some thru you....

I got right around 270k on a set of Michelin XZE's that was on the trailer from factory. I was really surprised they lasted that long. I just hope I can get what you did with yours.

My Dad just bought some Korean/Foreign made tires that I put on last weekend. They was only $340 out the door for 11r 24.5 16ply andn them SOB's were a mf'er to get on the rim the side walls were so stiff! They had nice tread depth too so I might try them on the back axle.

 

We're they Sailun Tires??? Those are the Korean/China tires this truck had on it when I got it. The steers were good and wore very well.

 

No, I'll look this weekend.

 

I have 10 years and over 1 million miles ticket and accident free. 5 years I ran wide base in the midwest. I pulled tank and was empty 1/2 the time. Never had a problem with a LRR tire on snow and ice. I'd call that real world experience.

I now dispatch and manage maintenance for a fleet of 25 company tractors and 62 trailers. We run mainly UT to N and S Cal. I have not had one of the drivers complain about the 100 RR tires we are running. They had DR444 and BSFS M720 before I showed up. Now we run nothing but XDA energy drive tires. Is that real world enough for you know it all?

 

What product is that ???

 

Turbo3000D

 

Thanks SHC, I didn't know what he was referring to.

 

One day I heard Keven say something like "When I was at a truck stop I asked what do drivers listen to on XM, and I couldn't get anyone that said they listen to the Trucking chanel."
I really wanted to call up and say, Keven, its not worth a #### to listen to.
