    I'm looking to buy new tires for my new truck. I will be running local. I haul flatbed with 50,000 lbs coils. There is alot of turning in gravel, in the street and drive along railroad tracks. Need something that will hold up.

    If you find a drive that holds up let me know. I have had good luck with Michelin xzy steers in 315/80/22.5 but they are 250 more than bridgestones. Only thing that ive had a little luck with for drives are anything with a closed shoulder. I run in the gas fields and am lucky to get 75k outta a set of drives.
