Drive tires

Samson or kelly maybe a good deal if you have alot of empty mi. on each trip, but the more you pay you can knock down rolling res. America moves by truck has a list of each tire rolling res.

 

I run Kelly Springfield tires on my drives, my last set got 400,000 miles before I had to replace them.

 

Those Kelly's are Meaty- Gotta be to 28/32nds or more.

 

I got about 180,000 on my KDA drive tires but I run local and do lots of twisting. Bought all 8 back in 05/13. Highway mileage definitely differs. I’m in the process of getting 8 Raodmasters drive tires put on today. Under $2400.00. Another set of Kelly’s was gonna set me back about $2900.00. They had a price increase since I last bought mine, almost $500.00.

 

I’ve been running some Dayton D610D and like them so far. I had another set of Dayton dirives I pulled off at 180k and still had like 1/2 tread left.

 

Kelly’s aren’t what they used to be. I’m actually trying ou Sumitomo’s now. They are a Japanese tire and are supposed to cut down on picking up rocks. So far so good. They’re a deep lug tire.

 

Here are my new shoes I picked up for my truck. $2360.00

 

Michelin Pilot's are good. Wore perfectly even and lasted a long time. Spendy though.
Company I worked for last ran Hancooks for 12 years. They were pretty good, Im planning on running them when I need new ones.

 

Has anyone had these?

These were installed last summer and so far I’m happy with them. My first new set.

Previous tires were recaps.



Gravel roads make them look pretty

I don’t use them anymore as I moved into the Freightliner now which uses Bridgestone 726el.

Any opinions on these as well?
