    I see zero issue with a premium lp22.5 and 135k gross on 5 axles.

    Keep them aired and dont drive like a ahole. Lots of guys hauled way more than that on 10:00x20. The big timmers ran 11:00x20.

    I get great wear out of them but hate the way they ride !
    ...choppy as hell with the last 2 sets .
    I dont expect the same mileage out of the hankooks but the ride quality is like night and day .
