Props to ya'll in this for over a decade or more.

Simple tire.com

8 drives ran me 3500 delivered for 75 mph rated toyo tires (m647)
Run 12 oz bag balancers in all tires.

Told shop to replace every single stem.

Keep up on tire inflation

Not cheap, but 4k was cheaper than the road calls for garbage tires in past 2 years. Not to mention peace of mind especially in the summer.

Northeast can be a nightmare for roads but i 75 toledo to detroit will give it a run for its money

 

You’re already making that payment
You just don’t realize it

 

Oh TRUST ME I realize it! I see my numbers daily!

The difference is I don't HAVE to make the payment. I can sit and wait because I own everything.

Waaaaaay different.

 

Oh no I-75 has us all beat! I rarely run it and really really try to avoid it!

 

i96 between Grand Rapids and Flint is pretty brutal, hated that run.

Also i can't remember if it was 74 or 71 going in or out of Cincinnati that i drove down once and said never again

 

Per mile ran, there is no cheaper tire then Michelin. Need to look at the big picture not just the number on the invoice.

I’m with you on payments, I’d rather leave the truck in the yard with buckets on the stacks then haul cheap and I’m not spending weeks on end in a truck to make a living, life is too short, I barely did 70k last year

 

At over double the price of my brand new toyos, ill take that chance.

 

Unless you buy a lemon that always seems to have its Christmas lights on.

 

Only way i'd do that is to park the old reliable one and continue to fix it so when the new one inevitably breaks down and costs a month in the shop for whatever dumb reason i can still earn money, not continue to hemoragge cash.

Personally i would like 3 trucks to 2 drivers, feels a good balance

 

Oh man 71 was BRUTAL 3rd world country type crap for a LONG time! I think it is better now. Oh God I hope so!
