Cheap tires !!!

I hear ya... But if your drives arent lasting at least 200k and your not doing some specialty work(offroad or heavyhaul) then its possible there is other issues with the truck? 3 axle alignment? shocks? bearings?

 

Ive been O/O 4+ years now... got the tires through the company i was leased to at the time(werner). I am leased to Landstar now Pretty sure i can get another good deal thru them when its time. You say cheap fuel hehe paid 3.37 at T/A earlier today.. pump price was 3.76 LOVE that.

 

The national account at CRE is probably just like Werners. They couldnt tell me what the price of the tires was going to be until I already owned them lol. I had bought a couple steers here and there thru the same natl acct though and was getting almost 200$ off the out the door price so i assumed it would be similar and it was.

 

Brand new truck?..... Not! My truck is older than yours. Not a OTR tractor but still older than yours. Best tires?.......Not! My truck currently has at least four different brand tires on it. That is mechanics choice not mine. I will try to change that as currently I have six tractor tires near illegal and need new skins before winter. As a company driver I do care for the cost as every needless dollar spent by the company can keep me from getting a raise, benefits etc.

you rest well Eso, and be safe also.

 

I hear ya, like I said. I will change that. I might not get virgin Michelin traction dives or Yokohama steers but I will get new tires very soon.

You are making the best choice for you and your trucks livelihood and that is understandable. Best of luck to you and I hope the Chinese tires stay in one piece until they are bald.
