    I went to get 8 Yokohanas put on a couple of weeks ago, shop only had 6 of them. Told me they had 8 Dunlop drives. I needed drives in a bad way, told them to put them on. $303 each mounted balanced out the door. Made in USA not a bad price, no telling how long they'll last.

    My tire guy turned me on the these Milestar tires, straight tread & all position tire.
    I was skeptical. but he told me First Fleet here in Phoenix is using them on all their trucks. so I purchased 8 for the drive axles, $2,500-dismount, mount & balance.
    They been holding up good, so I purchased 8 more for the trailer, same tire so they can be interchanged without a problem.

    Ive got around 120k miles on (4) Samson GL283s and will have to replace them within the next 3 months. Should go around 150k total miles.

    90k on (4) Toyo M920s and they have 50-60% tread left.

    I pull dry van, keep them around 100psi and rotate every 20k miles.

    Both brands were $300 per tire installed in PA last year.
