Ironman Drive Tires

1800 installed 8 drive tires?

 

No experience with those,but I did run a Chinese Drive called long march. At 135k they had 6/32 left. They wore even and no vibration.

 

Seems way cheap. They're not recaps, what's the thread depth?

 

Bet they ain’t 24.5’s

 

Been runnin custom mold caps for 11 yrs blown 2 200 each and gettin in high 400s on em put 4 new yoko on blew 3 in first 2 months never bought a yoko since bought caps after that and never looked back

 

Those tires look aggresive, even though they are probably for highway use. They will probably come and haunt you in the form of lower MPGs. If I did a lot of off-road, I’d buy them. Daytons, General Tire, and Goodyear Marathons are a much better deal if you’re looking for cheap tires. Those tires do not look aggresive.

 

135k .. holy cow they wear fast yikes !!

 

I'm not call'in you a liar but..in 43 years of experience i have never had a drive tire or steer blow out. Not saying it couldn't happen. Tried caps once..a long time back when i pulled dump bucket. Always had 54,000 to 60,000 net wt on 5 axles. Used my own casings and still caps never held up to the task. Nowdays all virgin rubber on my truck. Don't own my trailer so got to pull what they put on it. Best mileage i ever got was yokohama directional drives, 300,000 or so and that was by rotating them once. Never have tried Michelin. But 400,000, either you have a 300hp engine or are hauling feathers, or both. The Ironman tires..you get what you pay for. They probably won't blow out, but longevity will be shorter. Just my opinion.
