    Looking at getting a pair of steers before roadcheck hits, wondering if anyone knows how the bridgestone sub brand Dayton held up before being mothballed to rough road and 75mph? Dealer said they've been putting alot of them on road trucks for a local largish company, but not alot of data yet with the line only recently ressurected.

    Is it possible for you to talk to the head of maintenance of the local company that is running them and get his opinion on the tires? I have run Dayton tires on cars in the past and was very happy with them, never knew they made tires for trucks.

    Good buddy of mine is a road tech for the tire company, if there was any feedback he'd probably have heard it, but they only brought the brand back a few months ago. Was hoping maybe some other o/o's ran them pre 2011

    Well although I have not personally run them I'd give the guys at bauerbuilt up in Lincoln a call. They can probably give you a rundown of how those steers will last and workout for you. They've usually got a pretty good handle on all the sub brands of the large companies. I don't know for sure what they have, how much they would be, or what labor will be but give diamond T a call over in Beatrice as well and talk to Todd. He might have a few steer tires available for a decent price. You call the farmers coop in fairbury about the dayton's or someplace else?
