    Hey some questions here. Would you replace these tires now or give them a few thousands more miles?

    Thinking about going with Yokohama. Any experience with these tires for steers?

    Looks like XLEZ. If no cuts to core, run to 4/32 and cap for trailer.

    Looked at all pics. Definitely XLEZ, and appears to have an alignment issue that needs addressed before tires.

    For sure need to find out what's going on with your front end or you'll end up ruining another set of steers. For years I balked because of the high upfront price and tried Yokohama, Bridgestone amd Goodyear none of which could make it to 100,000 miles. Finally got a set of Michelin a couple of years ago and they are hands down the best tire I've ever put on the steers. I'll never buy any other tire for my steers.

    My next set will be my actual first set I buy. These Michelins were already on here.

    How many miles do you put on your steers now before replacing with the Michelin?

    Air pressure has been good 115-120psi.
    Alignment I will do but why change the shocks?

    Any premium steer at proper pressure and alignment should run 200k miles.

    Don't know they were already on here.

    They will be replaced just will it be now or are these still safe to run down the tread further?
