This is the first time in over a decade I can't get my trusty Goodrich drives due to a nationwide back order and had to settle for the hankooks. What kind of mileage can I expect out of them. With heavy weights and how do they ride.
Has anyone heard what's up with Michelin or know why they are not putting out products. The manager at the tire shop says the back order is 6 months and it's also Michelin tires they can't get.
Hankook DL07 drives.

I've got eight DL07 on my truck. I've got over 200,000 miles on them and they still look great.
But I keep close track of my air pressure on all my tires.
I was told years ago that Bridgestone owns Hancook, so if that's true you're still getting a quality product.Tmtbob Thanks this. -
I have 4 DL07 with over 350k on them and expect another 150 - 200k out of them.
Was never a big fan of Hancook tires in general. Particularly the junks tires they have for cars and pickups. But these have shown excellent life and even wear. I highly recommend them.
I bought Hancook steers at the same time. Big mistake. I had to remove them at 70k mi due to excessive cupping on the shoulder causing the tires to shake the steering wheel going down the road. Normally only buy Michelin steers, but they offered me a deal with the 4 drives. They refused to warranty the steers. Said truck had alignment problems. Thing is I am anal about daily tire pressure and truck sees an alignment every 50 - 60k mi. I've got almost 100k mi on my current Michelin XZA3+ steers and they are wearing evenly and I expect another 90-100K before they will be replaced.
This was my DL07's last May with near 250k mi. They were still roughly 60% tread then.
