Unfortunately the 710s have much better then 12% less rolling resistance, it's like darn near 40% better.
The 726s are a dinosaur that costs fuel and really doesn't live longer even though they're super deep tread. I'd never go back to them again unless i ran a Dump truck.
How long do your drive tires last?

next set of tires I get I need to spray inside of them with 303 Aerospace protectant and after they're mounted spray outside as well. This product works

had this problem. After fixing the kingpin on passenger side, purchased Michelin XZA3 for Steers. They started showing the cupping just like the old tires. I returned to the Kingpin repair place (Sanders in Albany OR), he re-did the alignment for free and that solved the problem. Performance was 160,000 miles on that set. not great but they started off pretty bad due to cupping. don't let it get bad, Get alignment.
Currently have 16 H X Line ENERGY Z 275/80R22.5 Michelin . Performance 190,000 miles. just starting cupping on one side, possible Kingpin problem (shaking), and shocks are a 120,000 miles, a little overdue to change.
I run WA to CA (very bad roads in CA) Heavy 45k lbs plus always, 60 ft beams, lots of bouncing. 10ft spread axle.
Only purchase cheaper double coins for Drives and Trailer, due to the type of load. road and weight. the trailers don't last 100k miles,
the drives last set Koryo 194,000 miles
This current drive set Double coin, on par for same as last set.
The alignment and shocks are key to keep your tires in good shape.
not all alignment are equal, had it done at a Trailer place due to bushing repairs on trailer, who fxxxed it all up, had it fixed at a TA ontario Cali. where they aligned the whole truck and trailer.
I plan on changing who I lease to, to stop doing those nasty roads with nasty constant heavy swinging loads. Then I will buy better tires for the drives and trailer.
The Steers always buy the best. -
