    That's good to hear those tires have held up to the job you're doing there. I have no idea how the tires I put on my truck held up as I sold the truck pretty much immediately after putting on the new Aeolus tires.
    The truck I'm driving in the oil field now had 8 virgin Bridgestone M775 drive tires fitted when I started. They have amazing off road traction in the mud and slime but seem to be wearing down the tread depth fast. The conditions are hard on tires here but at the rate they are wearing down I would say end of next summer and they will be done. I would have thought they would last longer than one year, they might yet still, but going off the current rate of wear I highly doubt it.

    the bridge stone m775 is what got me started on the u shaped shoulder lugs, the grip with that style tire is amazing. that's what came on that bran new pete i was running from the factory. this pair of Samson tires i recently put on has the u shaped shoulder lugs as well. there is a Hercules tire with a identical pattern to the bridgestone's but they wear even faster yet.

    getting much more than a year out of a set of tires in the conditions we run in i think is pretty good. all the stop and go and turns heavy loads as well as dirt roads really takes a toll on tires. i ran some generals once went from new to bald in about 10 months

    the new samson tires, not impressed so far, you can tell they pickup rocks bad, and are already chipping the lugs a bit

    I've got Aeolus on the back of my Freightliner. A local trucking company that has around 50 trucks on the road started running them and suggested them to me. They've been pleased with them and so far so have I. Aeolus is a high quality China tire designed to compete with the mid range American mades. For the money I don't think they can be beat and I'll be looking into them anytime I need tires in the future.
    I run the HN308+. Here is a link to them I found:

    Great drive tire already have over 150,000 miles and still plenty of thread. The steer tires suck stay away from them,had to change them twice because out of round issues.

    Check out. Double Coin. I hv a set of the RLB400s on my truck that are four years old. Made by Bridgestone at their Shanghai Plant. Warranty and SATS "better" than Bridgestone. Is the sames as the 726EL but not as expensive cuz "Bridgestone" is not on the sidewall.

    Try the Dunlop SP384 Steer! Is a great tire! Energy saving too! I tried Yokohamas, Kumhos,, and Toyota. The Dunlop beats them hands down!! Only Steer Tire for my "Freight Shaker"!!
