    BF Goodrich ST230. Also what Xsetra said. Automatic tire inflation and deflation system. You can get them retrofitted on most trailer axles now.

    A dump valve on my rear axle and using it religiously has prolonged the life of my tires immensely.

    Europe maybe ace. But America, I wouldn't, not unless your carrying a spare.

    I am looking at having to replace the summer grade tires on my 26' box truck. These tires came with the purchase of the truck but are now worn and untrustworthy for winter.Was thinking a deep tread all weather version, as I am now in AK, but am not sure where to even start to find a reputable company/brand. Suggestions? I am closest to Fairbanks. Thanks.
     
    cke Thanks this.

    might want to find what tire dealers are most often in the area you service, and see what they carry, then make a choice from there. Every tire shop doesnt tend to carry every brand around my way.
