steer tires

With 200k+ on my LRR G572's and 20/32 left, trust me I've thought about it and continue to pat myself on the back. The tires will go an easy 500k and still have some meat on them.

 

I went with to go, they are much cheaper than Michelin and seem to hold up good

 

I meant toyo

 

My story is a bit different. Got two Bridgestone R280's about a year ago, picked up a nail a couple months later...

Well, had it patched and balanced. Had it go out of balance a couple times...

Now, the dilemma is to get two matched new steers or replace just the one with patch.

Most places don't even carry R280, it's discontinued. A good tire, they're both showing little wear despite balance issue. I prolly will opt for just replacing the one patched tire with another R280 so it can be balanced.

But my point is that it is hard for me to spring for high $$$ steers. They're great if you get that longevity, worth it. But if you have any damage to one, it's twice as painful. I'd really almost rather run cheaper steers and just replace them more often and keep them matched.

 

It was not out of alignment or had worn suspension parts, or shocks, I had it the King Pins checked for wear and all checked out fine. IMO Bridgestone tires did not work well with my truck because I have had the alignment checked before and it always checked out fine.

 

I've got a good. 280 I took off my truck yesterday I'm just going to use it on a trailer

 

If those R280 are a year old then they must have plenty of miles on them, say over 80k? Replace them both for you are not really going to be losing financially.
