    Hey y'all. My steers are wearing weird and im starting to get a vibration i honestly think its these BFG tires.. i run a 2006 studio sleeper freightliner columbia I'm looking to see what others are running and what u like and don't like about them,, I am also gonna get a front end adjustment done when they put new tires on... help a girl out,, my boyfriend is useless he swears by dunlop tires only and i want whatever the O/O community says is best. My boyfriend is just a dumb redneck truck mechanic because the dumb moron has a stupid felony charge and can't get a CDL.

    I run Hankook AL11 for quite a few years.

    Mount, dismount and spin balance is $400 all in here in Phoenix.

    Michelin xza3+. Not the cheapest but in my opinion the best.

    we put only Michelins on steers. drives im not picky more important to us is tread pattern for going in fields but always Michelin steers. My dad would only allow that for as long asI can recall so I kept that going. On a straight truck we have with a 20000lb front axle with 425 front tires...Michelins are the only thing that doesnt shake the truck and will balance.

    I like the Michelin steers, whatever you get put balance beads in or true balance. Will help a lot with front end bounce.

    Awesome thanks for the info,, I'm seeing that Michelin is the big choice so far.. i had new shocks put on and everything checks out tight,, just the vibration sucks its very bad from 50 to 60mph. But comes to slight shake at 65 to 68 which is the speed i travel at mostly on the highway

    Michelin is good. I've run a bunch of them. Good tires.
    Currently running Generals. No problems so far.



    ...I got a few violent felonies & a CDL.. Shouldn't be mutually exclusive. May disqualify from a lot of jobs, shouldn't disqualify from having the license.
