I had exactly the same issue. Bought new steers in Jan had to replace them beginning of Sept they were cupped too bad I couldn't hold the steering wheel at certain speeds. I went back to BF Goodrich steers.
Falken tires????????????

I bought BI850 drives. 16 ply rated for our lowboy tractor, as we occasionally get 55k on the drives. Most balanced with less than 10 oz., but one required 20 and one 18.
I only have about 8000 miles on them so far, but no problems yet.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
I know this is an old thread but anyone with recent experience with the BI830s
I currently have Michelin Energy D and put new ones on the rear axle about 20k ago. Now it’s time for the front drive axle and my tire guy recommended these Falkens as their $250 cheaper per tire.
Is the Michelins worth it? I’ve not had em long enough to tell.Another Canadian driver Thanks this. -
Not recent, but I took mine out at less than 200k, could not stand the vibration. Take a look at BF Goodrich D454. I really like them, owned by Michelin. Also have good experience with Continental HDLAnother Canadian driver and Phoenix Heavy Haul Thank this.

We now have 80k on our BI850s. They are holding up well. I had them siped last winter, and they are OK on snow, good in mud, but ride rough. I suppose 100k in our application is good, and these should make that easily.Stay Puft, Phoenix Heavy Haul and Another Canadian driver Thank this.
