How long do your drive tires last?

yes it is Unheard of.

 

Wish i had put a hubmeter on the trailer so i could more easily get an exact mileage on the tires. I've done just enough power only loads that it would be a pain to go back in the notebooks to subtract out that mileage for an exact number. An educated guess will have to do.

 

Wow looks like Hancock get the best milage if the price for the tyres was around the same i'd certainly be going for that brand on my wheels.

 

I'm getting the Ecopia 283s right now, having them do a 3 axle alignment also. 130k on the drives and still tread left. Having them rotated also.

Gonna try to make it to winter on them. Also bridgestone.

 

I think centramatics are virtually useless and ineffective for drives and only marginally useful for steers. Save your money. I've got a set of centramatics for steers and drives sitting in my shop that I pulled off the truck several years ago.

 

I tried DL11 because I couldnt get the DL07 and barely got 300k out of them.

Also had a bad experience with Hankook steers. Replaced at 60k because the shaking was so bad from the tires cupping.

As long as I continue to get at least 200k out of Michelin steers I'll keep using them. I get a few chunks missing here and there. But for the most part they wear evenly and remain smooth until I replace them.

I'm running dl07's right now. Ok on the dry. Wearing ok rides on. Terrible on wet snow and ice of any sort. Deep snow and powder ok. I got stuck on flat ground this year lol. Was just above freezing and they melted the snow a little and that was it. Had to throw a chain under the tire. I'm siping them for next winter as an experiment. They can't be any worse than they are now. Thats pulling heavy with a 40000lbs empty weight.

 

Which model is that? I need somethng that the tri-axle can't scrub off.....

 

Agree,.. not good for mud or snow. But then with my truck it doesnt matter,.. spit in front of my drives and I'll get stuck. But great long wear life. Much better than the DL11's.

I'm on track to get 2.5 seasons out of a set of Yokohama LY053's. Compared to some of the other virgin tires I've had before they go into recap rotation I am very impressed with this, and my next set of caps will be the Bandag logger lug.
