Looking for new drive tires?

Just looked it up.

$326 a tire at TA.

 

Duraturns have done really well on the trailer.

 

We have sailun on the drives. Forget what they cost but they were cheap. 140k on em and still about 1/3 tread left. All wore evenly. Maybe we just got lucky. Yokohama on the steers

 

Otr I would go michillins. Going cheap datyons. I got a set put on for 2800.

I have Yoko's on the drives lost .5 mpg over Michelin's xdn2

 

Michelin line energy D , wear like iron they last and last .....plus the rolling resistance is extremely low, only beat by M710 ecopias .

In the long run they are well worth the price premium for good tires.

If you're not keeping longer than another 200k .. get cheap ones

I second the XDN2's, really awesome, I run the H load rating ones, and they just rock.

What pressure do you run in yours @gokiddogo ?

 

Whatever the tire guy puts in them...lol
100 when installed and cold.
I should take better care of them. I don't check often enough. I kick them every day now which is more than I used to do. I am lazy in that regard.

Just finished buffalo wild wings in Calgary
Favourite place for chicken

 

LOL yea I was part of the 100psi club forever, but my Volvo was starting to shake like a U joint was bad or something. Michelin rep almost kicked me in the balls, when I said I was doing 100psi. I guess at 34000/37000lbs in a tandem config, they're supposed to be 80psi lol.

Well hell, next time you're in Calgary, shoot me a PM bro!

 

I had planned on going to nanton or possibly Cranbrook... then figured ah wth I feel like some chicken and a couple of beers.

Next time
