Looking for recommendations on steer tires.The current American Generals I have on have lost big chunks and have a lot of thread left on them.Is it common for steer tires to get torn up like this doing this type of work?

I would guess it would be pretty normal. Think a lot of them that I seen buy the cheapest they can get since they will get a puncher in it way before the life of the three.

I use the xline Zs on my end dump. They seem to hold up fairly well to anything i throw at them. Though i have found sidewall damage from stuff like scrap, rubbing curbs or large rocks tends to break wires a little easier then the bridgestones.
The tread is pretty robust though and ive only had one chunk out on me. And that one was clearly a defective from factory tire and michlin replaced it and its brother from the same lot for free. Ive found after trying several diffrent brands they seem to be the best mix of cost durability and reliability. Also tend to have pretty good grip when its sloppy, slick or icy, though they dont do so well on finely powdered stuff like lime or carbon dust.Feedman, Siinman, Oxbow and 1 other person Thank this. -
Halliburton runs mostly Bridgestones,they are on lease roads a lot and hold up well.

Continental HSR2 are my first choice for dump truck steer tires, but they haven gotten out of my price range. I'm currently running General RA's, and they're doing decent.
