looking for drive tires

What type of operation are you running? If general legal loads highway running, you got some serious issues with your suspension.

 

There was a new set on a truck I bought a while back. As I recall they ran out real well.

 

That's just it. Top notch personal trucks. I don know.

 

Are you running quality tires? Generics don't last near as long (see hurst and his 48k lifespan on cheap steers) Also speed plays a very big factor. If you do 75 all the time you won't get as long of life out of tires as a guy that runs 65.

 

This is what I use (winter only )bandag BDR-W. $200 on my casings Only retread them once and then turn them in for credit. I get 3 winters out of
them. Very good on snow and ice.


Run virgin all positions in the summer. When Lower rr is the goal.....

It took me too long to change my habits even though the evidence was there. my tires wearing perfect since I changed my drives to 85-90 lbs from the 105 I used to put in them. the center of tire would always wear out long before the outer edges. I may have got better m.p.g. on the higher air pressure, but the harder ride & after several bent or warped rims, even thought just slightly, I think I was doing more damage to the truck, suspension wise too.

 

consider this too. just came out this month
