Michelin worth it if only 200 mile radius; Hankook DL 12 instead ?

My father hauls heavy (140,000) regional every single day here in Ontario. He had Michelin XDN2's on but recently put on 2 sets of Goodyear LHD's (I think the exact # is 575?). He complained that the wear on the XDN2 wasn't too impressive. Man the wear on the Goodyear is a lot better than the Michelins. Grip goes to Michelins however, but not by much I may add. There were some posts earlier in the month where someone stated their goodyears started falling apart. Hopefully we won't see none of that!

 

I was thinking of trying some of those hankook dl12 this summer. They are priced great and I know they make real good racing tires. coworker has them on 1 axle and so far so good but it's too early to tell.

 

I'm getting Michelin xdn2's put on today, the 710s made it to 261k

 

his fuel mileage is gonna go to #### hard. not only are the rolling resistance crap on the xdn2, compared to the 710....... and more so, compared to a very worn 710, it's gonna blow his mind just how bad it'll be!!!

I went from a worn Dunlop 431a to bridgestone m799 and I'm kicking myself for my poor life choices. $50 a day more fuel easily!!

 

I'm not sure what the comparison is with rolling resistance but I'll find out and check mpg in a few days. They seem like a softer riding tire from what I can tell so far.

 

on Michelin comparison site with 710 as the base 100 rating. xdn2 are 136

 

Cool thanks!
