    I usually only run Bridgestone M726's. But I cant find any right now.... never mind the "cheap" comment after looking through some of the other tires available. Id rather buy the m726 for $3000 than to buy some of the cheap ones im seeing online......:)

    My thinking was last fall I paid $16xx and some change plus like $160 for them to mount 4 of them. But, without a national discount im seeing prices of 3000 for 4 of them. Id like to find 8 new ones and change out the 4 with less than 50k miles on them I bought last fall for spares.

    As you wish, please bear in mind i did literally show you a link that got you to 2400 for 4 m726el delivered to the shop of your choice, no discount, fet and delivery included. So while i might like 8 at 3000 of a brand new bridgestone drive, it just doesnt seem to be an option. Last falls prices are nice, but that was then, this is now

    Probably best to get all 8 new at 600 ea then sell the 4 you take off around the 400 mark after the fact. Might hurt more immediately but youll have exactly what you want, and can save the 4 if you need to... a thought

    The link you sent had to add FET and Tax and the total was 2905.04 ..... that same company on eBay it'd be 2700 with free shipping. I was just saying with the national account i got them on last year( I was leased to a company then, now im on my own) it would save about 11-$1200. I might have to have a landstar buddy of mine get them for me.....:D

    What makes them better, you need that extra inch of ground clearance?

    What was the price on the steers? I am thinking about going with something else next time at the end of summer.

    Less revolutions per mile, higher weight rating, bigger tires look better (personal taste) adds to 5rh wheel height…….

    it’s a life style….. not a job. And cascadias don’t understand
