Trailer tires.

I went with some low pro 24.5 Hankooks and I've been very pleased with them. I couldn't tell you that the specific tire off the top of my head right now. They're wearing beautifully. Half of my miles are grossed out and half are empty which seems to mess with a lot of tires but these are handling it well. They have also handled speed/heat/weight combo well.

 

I liked my Dodge quad cab's 5.9 and a ton of logs against larger Hankooks at 3000 pound capacity plus pretty consistent with traction when light.

I would suggest you stick with the tires you already want and know well.

You could use online shopping to locate those tires along your route and scoop them on your way.

 

Isn't 120-140k miles on the low side? I have drives with 235k miles and 10/32 still left.

 

IIRC Hurst has a spreadaxle.
That might be why he does less miles.

 

I wonder if Hurst has a dump valve to allow that aft spread axle to essentially skip and float when doing tight maneuvering really gently.

 

I run Firestone’s 561’s on my spread axle. I think they were $380 each? My carrier runs some generals with what appears to be good results too. I don’t know the price though? I just bought some continental (hs3 ?) steers but only have 25k miles on them so who knows?

 

My tire guy turned me on to a tire that States Logistics has been buying for all their trucks, and they are a big Co. so I'm guessing they did their research.

I purchased 8 Milestar all position tires for $2,405. That included dismount, remount, balance & 8 new valve stems.
That was in Jan 2017, approx. 60K miles ago. I have no complaints and they were $1,500 cheaper than most other brands.
I see States Logistics trucks all the time on my route, and have never seen them on the side of the road with a flat.

 

Hurst, i have those hsr2s and i would buy them again even if they cost 200 over a competitors tire. My only gripe with them is they are not stocked by very many tire shops. I can't seem to ever get 8 on the trailer.
