Steer tires, is it just me?

How many miles you got out of steers and which brand you had?

 

That how I am with bridgestones

 

I had 2 sets of Kelly's and both were junk. Never again. I'm trying out a set of Uniroyals now. I got them for a good price and so far so good. Time will tell.

 

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.

 

Have had the misfortune of Goodyear tires.
Ride is terrible and wears fast.

 

I second the new steers always making a truck feel so much better. And you're right on the plies, Load Range J are the 18 ply tires, it's what we run on carhauler steers.

 

I have a set of the general ra on my steers. The only tire I've found local with a 120 psi and 26 ply.
