    Does anybody have experience with Aurora Drive tires?

    We all know Michelin BFGoodrich are great tires they are just crazy... Even if you have a National Tire Discount they are still pricing ..

    Who's having good luck out there with tires and what brand and price range are you paying?

    If Fuel economy is not a concern you might want to go with a cheaper tire. Check the rolling resistance. Some tires can be at 150. You can loose 3-4k a year in fuel. How are those cheap tires looking now.

    If you want cheap good quality tires, call an official Goodyear tire shop. You can find them on Trucker Path. Give them a call. They are much cheaper than TA/Petro and even cheaper than the NASTC discount.

    I have around 175k on my M920s, paid $300 a piece for them in 2017. I can’t get them for the same price right now, but they’ve been a good tire in my opinion.

    I’ll have to replace them before winter. They’re all between 6-8/32s now.

    You can also try tire brands owned by bigger brands.

    Dayton and Firestone (acquired by Bridgestone)
    BF Goodrich (acquired by Michelin)
    Kelly and Marathon(?) (acquired by Goodyear)
