    had a set of longmarch drive tires from china,11r22.5 16 ply best wearing tires i ever had. wished i could find another set but nobody around me can get them. one of those deals where they send a lot of tires to the states and when they are gone, they are gone!

    More expensive would be Michelin which is French, Bridgestone(my favorite) or Yokohamas which are Japanese and even Continentals which are German. What is left for american is GoodYear, General Tire and somewhat Dunlop.

    I had a set of Sailun drive tires and steers. I sold the drives off the truck with less than 500 miles. The steers lasted about 20k and got some really bad cupping.
    Aparently Peterbilt is installing them as drives on brand new trucks ???
