    We run virgin Bridgestone on our trucks and trailers and haven't had any problems. The M713 don't seem to wear as evenly as other models, but overall we've not had any problems with any Bridgestones.

    Most likely will run new on power but caps on trailers.

    And as you know, most times a blowout takes the wheel too. So hopefully a new national account, and the switchout won't be an issue either
    I run blizzaks on 2 vehicles for winter but both my car and pickup run Michelins.

    I've contemplated a set of the M311 milled down to 65 cc for a 402 LS I have. What stops me is I would have to switch to a square port intake and Ls3 rockers and rocker stands.

    I've seen those heads make 600+rwhp on a 415, I bet on a dart 427 or 441 it would probably crack 700 NA.

    I run Bridgestone's on my tanker.

    I prefer the steer M283s' to the Michelin Xlines that I used to have to steers. They handle ponding water better. XLines I only got 120K miles before the shoulder wore off.

    M713's I just bought for drives, and while a little squirelly for the first 4K miles, have shown increased MPG, and better wear than I expected.

    I have about 30k miles on my steers now, 15K on my drives.

    At average 1k a tire, I'm happy with my purchase so far.

    Frankenstein has a cathedral port head. The M115 I beleave they only come in 6 bolt design now. But went I got my set they were only 4 bolt. Not sure of your current set up. But the M115's have 235cc intake runners. So you would need a good spec'd cam. Or maybe a decent BTR shelf cam to take advantage of the runner size. But Frankenstein well set the combustion chambers to whatever size you ask for if you ask.

    So Genox doesn't have driver cameras. But some does have a safety feature that doesn't let you go faster than the speed limit. Might allow a couple miles over

    They are letting you go? Shoot, they said because I had only 17 months of experience in the last 36 that they wouldn't have me. However my overall is 32 months.
