i been running 105 psi, last set of 287, i had right around 160,000 on them. 162,442 actually. kept my shocks good and my truck lined up. i have a t600. and im running lp.24.5. michelin is an awsome tire, but for the money i didnt get but maybe 10,000 more miles outta a set of xze series. lm not a cheap ###,just wasnt extremely impressed for the money they want for them.thats just my personal experience though. everyones truck wears a little different and different enviroments make a different too i suppose.
best steer tire for fuel and wear.

Do some checking, some tires work better on some trucks than others in the steer position.

b.f.244 st are good steers. never had a problem with them. get about 140.000 out of them. I had some bridgestones 1 time, they had deeper tread depth, but started dipping bad at about 85.000 miles. I would make sure everything is just right before putting on an expensive tire anywhere.

Dunlop sp384's.
45k miles so far and still have 12/32 tread left out of 18.
Keep en inflated to 110 psi. Rotating them every 6 months. -
well, the T/A only had bridgestone, firestone and some chinese crap....the cheapest they offered were bridgestones at like 1300. I ended up buying a set of Yokohma's from speedco for $1100 and some change balanced of course, new valve stems and all that. I always run 110 in my steers. We'll see how these wear this year I guess.

I paid $1050 for my dunlops all mounted/balanced out the door. Course, there was another $1600 for alignment, kingpins and other maintenance with it.
