    Hello everyone, I am on the market for new tires. I run 11R 24.5 I pull an end dump trailer I need the tires for the tractor only, drive tires. I was looking at Triangle tr657 and Terraking Hs217 wich one you guys have better experience with? By the way I drive on the road and off road. Thank you everyone for you help.

    Rolloff trucks around here run the hs217 tread pattern. We run something close to the tr657 tread on our trucks. We go off road too but we also have full lockers.

    I prefer them to be black also. But every time my dark black ones turn into light black. Oh well!
