Steer tires?

I’m running Firestone 591’s for the steer. Absolutely smooth running tire.

 

I love Michelin but they chip so no
More Michelin for me unless they’re drives

I got bf good rich on the new truck so let’s see how they do. They seem soft.

 

Toyo M177

 

I use whatever Chinese special is going on. I'm rarely maintaining a steady speed, need a deep groove for the muck, and occasional running over a broken Deadman that slices through the tire

 

Now that I’m semi retired and don’t run a lot of miles anymore I decided not to spend the big money for Bridgestone R283a, (which are being superseded by the R284 now).

The last set of Bridgestone R283’s I purchased in 2016, they lasted about 110k miles but I had to replace them last month because of cracks in the sidewall by the rim bead because of old age, but other than that they had at least another 80k miles to go and were wearing nice and smooth.

I didn’t want to spend $600 a tire for Bridgestone R284 as the weather would rot my tires before I wore them out, so I decided to go with Goodyear Marathon LHS which were $375 a tire.

So far so good with the Goodyears, but if I was running hard all over the country still, the Bridgestone R283a or R284 with Centramatics are no doubt the best steer tire IMO.

As far as drive tires go, Bridgestone M726a, you can’t go wrong with 32/32”rubber when new, and they last forever.

 

Never lost a steer excepting two with factory sidewall defect.

Bridge stone, Yoko and Michelin. If money was no object it will be a teethy michelin all over.

Now if I can get state highways to clean up the large steel angle irons left under the Cross bronx late at night waiting to detonate half of my tires and rip airlines at 80 it will be much better.
