    So did they fix the problems of the R283a's or same issues on these new R284's

    Just looking for real world feed back. I gave up on R283a's and hoping I can go back to Bridgestone for steers.



    Thanks

    Just got a set in December. Our Bridgestone rep swears the issue is fixed. So far so good but check back in 6 months when they get some miles on them.

    Unfortunately no. Trans Am is dragging their feet. They barely reached out to me yesterday.

    Truck 2 got a set of 284's in July. So far so good.

    I've had a set of 283A's for about 18 months that are starting to wear I little funny, but I think that's alignment related ( cause I curbed it pretty good ).

    Think Truck 2's were just under $900 Out The Door.

    I haven't experienced any problem with Bridgestone so far, so they must have fixed the issue. I recently bought my set of Bridgestone tires from 4WheelOnline, and I must say, it has been a wise purchase from the get-go.

    We have them on all 3 of our Cascadias and they work better than anything else.

    The one I'm driving now came with 283's. They look to have / are wearing pretty well.

    I think the truck makes a difference.

    Stuff with set back axles are harder on steers.

    Real world feedback: These are all Bridgestone 284s 16 ply, exept for the brown truck, it is a 283A. All with low miles. We use Bridgestone steers and drives on 8 our trucks. We are in the process if taking all steers off and replacing them with something else.
