    kumhos on my closed tandem, or what’s left of them, have about 120k on them and I’ve been happy with them I put them on my spead and have not had the same results but the spread also chews them up like it’s job

    Toyo 647s on the drives and I like them better then the BS 726s that were $200 more a tire they replaced

    Granted that trailer doesn’t see off road, the Toyos and the 726s did and did all right in the pit, had 212k on the 726s and they were still about 8/32 but I was sick of the vibrations, I have 21/32 on the Toyos. Ow and just rotated them for the first time today

    I would try Toyos on a trailer, I do like them but the new one has Michelins on it and the kumhos on my closed tandem will probably last the rest of that trailers life as a spare/winter trailer

    I believe we’re putting Toyos on the Tri axle when those are run out, has kumho drives on it now that are going into the 3rd season

    Cooper are made in China, these days. We got a batch of new trucks in with them on the drives. I couldn’t believe I was reading “Made in China” on the sidewall, when they used to be a proud, American company. They pick up and hold rocks like magnets.

    Cooper Pro Series Tires

    loud too, not a fan.

    every set of good for one years I’ve ran have started splitting in the casing before they wore out, even though the last ~50% they start some weird river wearing
