    I want them because of the difference in speed that your rear end has to turn to go a mile when I added it up a long time ago its amazing how many more revelations your 22.5s do in a mile vs 24.5s

    Well sounds like I'm safe for many years to come as far as availability goes. Next up will be new drive tires, have 235 K on the original tires, starting to show some ware. They will be good till next fall probably.

    Ive gotten 237k out of a set of 11r22.5 Bridgestone 726 drive tires. If it wasnt winter I’d run them completely out. They’re just starting to hit the little wear nubs in center groves, I betting they would have gone 250k if they where in the right season/weather rotation.

    They're well worth the extra hundred bucks over a BFG or Firestone.
