Front tires

Road master by cooper.
They make a decent OTR steer tire with decoupling grooves.
Not China crap but not Michelin...

 

You can get Toyos or Kuhmos for around $350 a piece if you shop around.

 

Any tire can be good or bad. Just call your local shops and ask for non Chinese tire. Toyo and Yokohama are Japanese made I think. And some are Korean. You might find a deal on Kelly, Dayton, or Goodyear, Cooper, or General, I think they are all made in Ohio, or Indiana.

 

I'm on my second set of Firestone (FS591) . 14 ply rating. Good miles and casing value is excellent. $984.46 out the door. Dismount and mount. Minus my trade in casing value. Think i got 65 or 70 bucks a piece for old tires..same brand and model. Around 100k miles running containers. Local runs. Less expensive brands are 2nd grade grade casings. If good probably 25 to 30 bucks at trade time. JMO.

 

The Goodyear steers that just came off my truck were junk, literaly had them eat themselves, but the 4 drives have worn great. Michelins were put on my truck, which is what I prefer.

Dont see much bad about the Firestone FS951's though. Especially if you're only gonna run them a year.

 

As long you avoid chinese tires you should find something that will be suitable at some point for your application. We ran Yokos as steers in big trucks for years. No complaints except one winter where a sidewall defect causes a viberation when it was just brand new. It was replaced with another Yoko on the steer. I believe those are Japanese made.

For light trucks I have found Hankooks (Which is Korean) to be adequate in terms of weight capacity and traction. Mileage is less of a concern.

 

X1 what are the best tires for a Toyota Camry

 

This is what I use too. Local tire guy drops them off at my doorstep for $360 each.

Great tire. Last set went 180k no problem. Still had 7/32 and moved to the trailer. Truck has 1 million miles on it.

 

BF goodrich, good price and I have used them for steers on several trucks for years, after trying just about every brand a guy can come up with besides all the chinese offerings.
