How long before replacing steering tires?

I would not discard that proposition. Before I put them rings on my steers, barely past 120K it was time to buy new. Granted, I upgraded them to the most expensive in the store but still...Also the drives are doing good too. Besides, always nice to believe in something positive for a change... Go get the Centramatics and you'll see your tires will love you.

 

Sure, but my steers before were replaced not because they got too thin but warped. I had to replace them with lot of rubber left. It was impossible to drive on them being so bumpy. The devices seem to help with keeping their round shape and even wear forever.

 

The centramtics do nothing else but dynamic counterbalancing. How's it different from counteract beads? There is no magic involved...they ensure the tires are balanced. Whatever benefits are there due to balanced tires....

If a truck is out of alignment or suspension needs to be worked on, these things won't help much. I've had the rings for four years now. I put them on after replacing steers, kingpins, springs, shocks, tie-rods - everything involving suspension overhaul - I spent over 5K on the work that time and I thought that spending additional few hundreds on 6 rings was not going to kill me. For the last 400K miles, I had no problems with any pathological tire wear at all - they just lose rubber and when they're too thin or get damaged by punctures I replace them.
