    Firestone 591 on Classic. Always get well over 120 k, as much as140 k. 1 wears bad on outside,due to alignment, usually flip it before 70 k. Then, when I buy my new, run them out on the drives another 100 k or more. Great tires for the money, Old Bridgestone design. Used to be 590, When Bridgestone redesigned steer,a few yrs back, old design became Firestone 591. I’ve ran nothing but,590s and now 591s for over 12 yrs.now.

    I'm actually looking for steer tires...LoL
    I put Michelins on the freightliner but all they have in a 24.5 is their all position X-line. I'm not a fan of these Japanese tires that are on here now (Sumitomo?). Thinking about Yokos. Thoughts?

    Bridgestone R283A.

    Don't even waste your money on anything else.

    100K on these dudes. Minimal wear. Wearing even.

    Smooth as mama's. ............

    Haven't heard much good about them, save for they're cheap.

    My last pair of x-lines were out-of-round too. Running continentals now, one of these days I'll find a 'goto' tire.
