    I wouldn’t know about cascadias, I’ve never owned or driven one, just curious why you thought 24 were better. I understand personal taste, got it.

    I run them for ground clearance and looks. I'm routinely off road at jobsites and weird angled ramps that lead in/out of large warehouses. With LP 24s I was having issues dragging my tank brackets.

    Ground clearance is important mostly for jobsites, rough terrain and stretched trucks, low 24s or tall 22s do the trick pretty good, but low 22s would get me in trouble

    I was searching 3 weeks for 16 ply Michelin steers. Calling everywhere I knew I would drive thru. No luck. Finally found them at Love’s off main highway. Of course they didn’t have a “tire tech” on duty for the next day (question remains what were they doing there bc the shop was open). I ended up buying them over the counter and having installed at TA down the road. Crazy what it took.

    How about Dynatrac drive tires, anyone have any experience with them? I have Michelin XDN2 on the drives now, but am having a difficult time finding them but chinese rubber doesn't really excite me too much.....

    Somewhere about 130-140k on these 208s. Little under 1/2 tread left. Maybe 13-14/32

    Should get about 200k out of them.

    These double coins on the other truck are more aggressive and so far they look like they're gonna last a bit longer. About 65k on them now. Much better in the snow

    Had a friend try them several years ago, he didn’t even get 200k out of them.

    Of course they just borrow the tread pattern
