I thought Kelly's were made by Michelin? I only had them one time, on my old 97 freightliner. Just had tandems not steers, they did me good. But worn out faster than expected. Best luck I ever had was a set of Bf Goodrich. The local tire shop at the house had them. They installed all10 for less 5han truckatop wanted for just tandems. They lasted a long time wore well, and never gave me any problems.

I think Kelly’s are Goodyear. I’m trying out a set of Generals, steer and drives. 50k on them and they still look good.

Right side was replaced at 15k, so 126k on it
Goodyear factory rubber -
By he way, when I say the left had 4/32, that was on the outer part of the tire. The inner band was at 7 or 8.
Alignment done, toe was at .06.
Thrust angle on drive axle was .13
Probably the cause for the uneven wear.
As I said earlier, the horrible ride was an issue from new. Bought it with 503 miles on the clock.
We will see how she handles the turnpike tomorrow.
