    Yea, I’m a huge Continental fan, I had HD3s on 2 company trucks and loved them. Had/Have HS3 Eco Plus Steers on the same 2 company trucks and my personal Volvo. (They replaced the defective Michelin X Line Energy Z Steers)

    HD3 drives are even snowflake and smart way certified. One big issue tho, they are not going to last 4-600 000kms. 350 000 tops (amazing traction tho) and they like to cup and chunk out if the pressures aren’t literally perfect. I mean 1 psi between tires perfect. That being said, for 8 they are $4800bux cdn and XDN2s are $5600cdn. Maybe by the time I need some, the HD4 will be out and rival the XDN2 for wear.

    I get my xdn2 for about for about 600 each...installed..
    Paid 2700 and change, which before hst = 2389

    If you ever need tires in Toronto. I know an awesome shop.

    Even the steers were maybe 640? Don't remember.. half a cent per mile, anyway ...
