    I'm sure this has been asked a million times but i did some quick searching and couldnt find much info on the subject.
    I'm sure there are a ton of variables here but does anyone have any input on how many miles they get on a set of......lets say 11r-22.5 highway tires?
    6 axle set up....95% highway....empty half of the time.....100k the other half.

    The vac tank trailer i'm buying is currently under construction. Because i will be running empty 50% of the time i had them install a fixed center axle, and put lift axles on the front and rear.....does this make sense?

    Thanks.

    many variables to this question but a general answer would be 125k to 150k.
