Dave's Tire Wear Thread

Japanese co. Don’t know where made somewhere in U S I believe

 

I hope you got Continental I liked them more than Yoko Best wear ever had

 

Ive suspected all steers cup or get river wear after 100 -120 -130+ before wearing out completing it’s the weak point of steers. Even when all else is good.

 

I had a Driver say His Grandma drives a truck faster than I do!!! ( I wasn’t going fast enough for him in the pothole ridden TA lot) Told him I’ll be buying parts off your Truck at Junkyard in a couple yrs!!!

 

My 99 Classic Repo I bought in 2000 had Brand new Continentals and rims all around. I mentioned never heard of those must be Cheap tires . Told no premium tire line for General . Drives lasted 550 k longer than Yokos on WS

 

I’ve been doing Chinese on Drive very good wear. Remember Buddy of mine bought first set of Chinese kept complaining smelled like burning rubber!!! Sure enough for about 3 weeks lol. Got a set Chinese for trailer 8 $ 1600 from a guy had small shop O/O bought container load at time. He had 1 set 22 tall couldn’t get rid of and I needed them.Double Road brand. Inside layer came off couldn’t be patched wore out at diff rates. Kept filling last one about 2 X week. They lasted 2 yrs about 190 k . Glad to be done with them . Been buying good used steers in sets 100- 175 each got 8 good tires now. Been with Firestone 591 previously 590 steers for at least 10 yrs sold on them. Have heard complaints of squirrely Goodyear’s more than once. I had 2 wear real good on Trailer though

 

I’d like to find an old 84-85 Freightliner day cab with the separate windshields and stretch it and put a big house on it w 2 150 gal WS long tanks on each side. If I could only afford such a hobby. Just a note my cousins in Phoenix. She’s visiting next week. Been wanting to visit her for years . Don’t Trust my old Truck too far west though. Potential financial disaster out of my element broken down surrounded by Rattlesnakes Scorpions and Buzzards come to mind Lol
