    I have Michelin steers and now the Yokohama drives. IIRC I paid a tad more than the price you noted, but with the Centramatics (about $100 apiece). My old drives were pretty thrashed, so I'm sure you will get better credit than I got. I had mine done at Love's.

    The shims, shocks, and alignment were done at City Trailer in OKC.

    I like cross dillon and want to deal with Nebraska people .
    I live here and leased to a Nebraska carrier that's been in biz since 1932 ...if there's a problem it will be taken care of .
    Price isn't every thing to me .

    I have 517’s and they do not hold rocks like my Bridgestones did. Did some off roading Friday and had just a few rocks, the others would be loaded.

    I have be Yokohama ty517 mc2 on my W900 and they have been great. Wear good and have got good mileage so far. When the right rear gets close to 1/2 tread I cross rotated them. I would recommend the yoks

    Any updates from you guys running these tires? I’m selling my 24.5 tall rubber and rims (all new in August 2021) and going to 22.5.

    Why would you sell less than year old tires?

    Changing from 24.5 to 22.5. I can sell everything for more than I paid. The 24.5 look ridiculous on my FLD. Way too big.
