    That’s why I can always get a load from either Canton or Montgomery right back north. Many southern drivers don’t go to Ohio. I can’t believe I didn’t see that big red truck.

    Well we're just over 10k miles and these Conti's aren't showing any wear like the Michelin was...will keep an eye on 'em.

    My Pete stinger has 275/80r22.5 with not much tread left on them now. I'm also looking to get a pair of offset steer wheels. 22.5x9

    Would it be too much of a jump to go from 275/80 to 295/60?

    One stinger I have it has 255/70R22.5 on the drive tires so the transition from 275/80 on steer to 295/60 was fine in this truck.
    If you have the standard low pro 22's in the drive tires then I'm not sure if the jump on the steer tires will make a difference. I tried to change the drives to 255/70R22.5 on another truck that had low pro 22's so I could change the steer to 295/60 and it didn't work well because it messed up the speedometer and truck was running 100 RPM higher.

    I am curious as why nobody has tried LP 24 tires in front, if your into rolling resistance. I have no input just curiosity.

    @Banker might be able to help here. Isn't that what you switched over to?

    LP 24.5 is the same height as a LP 22.5 I thought people knew this?
