Firestone FD835 for logging trucks?

I run these as well
Wear like iron and ride well.
They are ok off-road. They do like to load up with mud.

 

We don't run anything that aggressive, The FD711 is the go to right now (if you can get them) or the FD663's you run. I ended up with Goodyear G182RSA's on my LCV truck, and they're working out well (I could get them, and they were cheaper). The FS591 steer is selling like hotcakes! The cats out of the bag now on Firestone, which of course means you can't get them.

I'm on my last set of Michelin Steers, they are now cost prohibitive on everything.

As much as I like Firestone, I still do not like Bridgestone. Just see another R284 steer explode and take a truck apart on Hwy 1. They make the M799, which is the Bridgestone version of the FD711. They are Available, but come apart fairly quickly (which would explain why everyone wants the Firestone).

I'm waiting for Hankook to come out with a more aggressive lug tire, love their trailer tires, love the DL-12Flex for on highway, trying to get some of their steers to try out.

 

Good Choice, match them up with the FS820 steer, should be a solid combo.

 

Had good luck with kumhos on the triaxles, they actually mount nice too without the cheetah tank. Last set was up to like $3500 for a set of 8 11r24.5s. Still like to run something semi decent like a Bridgestone/Firestone on a steer though

 

Dang, you're going to have to heal up and get out of the office. This sitting around is getting expensive!

 

We have the same tread pattern as the FD835 on a cheap tire on our dump truck. A lot of off pavement use, and we only put maybe 15k miles on that a year, so they will probably rot or get torn up before we wear them out.

They get around very well, but boy are they squirrely on the pavement when brand new with a load on them. I've had other tires do that as well, but not as bad as these. It must take a bit for them to wear in.
