    It would be nice if it got AT&T to raise their soft cap for unlimited from 22 gig...

    So...personal opinions wanted...

    So I'm about to replace my second set of steers. I'm at 313K miles. So i'm averaging about...what...155 almost 160K a set? That seem about average?

    My first set went 180K before river wear on the driver side got to the point of replacement.

    Now I'm at 133K on these...and I have uneven wear in driver and passenger side. May be due to them being out of balance for the first...ehh 40K of life. Couldn't tell because my truck shakes a lot to begin with and assumed it was the trailers until I ran around bobtail. I rotated them back and forth every 50K miles. Uneven wear is on the Inside of one tire, and outside of the other. But not concentric around the tire. However it also looks like river wear. What sucks is the tread depth of the rest of the tire is still pretty good.

    New shocks just put on, and of course with a new steer purchase, an alignment and suspension check will get done.

    I'm debating on trying different steers instead of Michelin. Anyone go different? Like Bridgestone?

    I got centramatics on steer and drives. I asked that when my last set of steers was installed they balance them, but...pretty sure they didn't. Go figure right? It was bad enough that the centrimatics couldent compensate enough. Was a night and day difference after the balancing.
