    They put on what they had several hundred of in the shop when that truck was serviced by Schneiser.

    The shocks weren't the "Wow WTF is going on?" problem.
    The out of round steers are. I had one go bad like that, both went in the garbage, got 2 new Goodyear's. Got Centramatics too.
    They are nice, but seem to be wearing fast.
    Dude at alignment shop said if the tire isn't perfectly centered on the rim, that will happen.
    But just like your used truck, how do I know a rim isn't out a little? A hub?

    This sounds weird, but you either kind of rebuild the steering axle, or just kind of wait and see until something is OBVIOUS, and get it corrected.

    My Yoko's did great until that one went bad. It was a tad out of alignment, but dude said if it was alignment, both tires would have wear patter.

    Check out Dave's Tire Wear Thread for my complete Yoko documentation.

    I'm going to try Yoko steers again after these are through, they wore slow.

    I don't see my drives going past 160 or 180, but they sure did handle the ice & snow great, so that counts for a lot.

    I couldn't drive without CC. I have the cruise set when I leave the fuel island.

    People like to cap on International, but I've been running them for 9 years. The only times - twice - I've been more than 48 hours, was waiting over the weekend for a part.
