How far down do you take your steer tires ?

I've not had the greatest luck with steers on my Cascadia.

Longest set was the last set last R283 Bridgestones.

Lasted about 18 months.

Seems like once a little divot or piece comes off, it starts to wear whacked around it and never comes back. Then slowly they get whacked until I'll get a vibration at 45ish.

Then they go in the garbage. I always buy 2, although it seems like only one has gone south, usually the outer ring of the tread on one tire.

 

I liked them. They make 284s now. That's what I have.

Never had good luck with Michelines.

The Yoko's that came with the truck went bad in under a year. Tread was great, but they'd shake your liver loose.

 

I think something is a little off with the front end though. I've had it checked and rechecked, everyone says it's fine.

Just 100,000's of miles of bone jarring highway I guess.

 

My Yoko drives lasted about 240K or so.

One got a huge bolt in it, and they were able to patch it.

They were at about 5 to 8/32 various for all 8 when I replaced them. Rotated them a lot.

I think the variance in weights is a huge factor.

There's times when I go months with no more than 12K in the box.

 

I have General HD's now. Even brand new, mileage jumped up. Those Yoko's definitely are not fuel squeezers.
