<p>[QUOTE="Rawze, post: 3492582, member: 118909"]Have you considered what fuel mileage differences there will be? especially if you haul anything above about 25k in weight regularly. Most of the time the fuel mileage differences are the make-break on running costs for tires long term, but many do not look down the road far enough to see this. Also, just the other day, my dash cam recorded a recap come apart on a reefer trailer where it blew a hole clean into and through the bottom of the trailer and into the freight. And yesterday, I talked to a guy who was sitting at petro with a totalled APU because his recap blew apart, destroying it. He was upset and said the 'gods' were against him because the APU was only 2 weeks old and the warranty did not cover this.</p><p><br /></p><p>not making this up,...just telling it like I saw it...Rawze[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
