Tire/Wheel Thread

I am on my second set of bf st244 they are real nice riding tires. wear good. I like them. going to put them on my 8 drives when needed. I know they will not last as long as lugs, but the better ride 7 them.p.g. increase will be worth it

 

I bought my last set of retreads through my old carrier...$184.00 IIRC... got the same price again two weeks ago from the guys at the wholesale desk in Durand, WI.

 

I run bridgestone 260s steer tires and love them i have a buddy that has some michelins that are new cheap anyone run michelin up front?

 

hi somebody can tell me the price for nitrogen to fill in the tires,normal and supersingles and in what place i can do this,truckstops or tiredealer

 

I pay the $3000 plus for my tires. Over the years I have gone both ways virgins and caps.
I have not noticed a difference in ride, durability, or last duration.
The caviot being I checked my tire pressure constantly. Maintaing tire pressure is the key!
Ride down the road and look at gators, if you see steel cords it was a virgin tire not a cap.
When i got tired of checking every time i stopped for fuel or comming out the petro,
I installed cats eyes, so i could see in a glance, without getting out the guage and bending over to check, if pressure was right. (I'm lazy plus its cold in the north east in the winter)
With all that said I just yesterday installed 8 new virgin drives tires on my truck. Reason being there was not a huge price difference cause my local tire guy worked out a cash only no reciept deal with me.

Steel wheels vs aluminum? Only difference I no is steel wheels are cheaper but weigh more and dont look as good.
So if weight or appearance matter go with aluminum.

 

thats probably the best line bangdad ever created

guess a lot of people believe it until one of there recaps blow

 

Been running caps for over 40+yrs........still waiting on all the blowouts I keep hearing about.

Guess we must be doing something wrong.

 

Come on down to texas and head west on I-10 to CA see if you make it on caps i never did

 

I just got a set of Firestone 590 steers for $326 each from Petro in beaumont, TX. They're running a deal till end of the year. Mounted, balanced plus centramatics rung in at $1130 I thought that was pretty decent and it fels like a nice tire so far.

 

Wow!!! thats high SO $278 is what thay charge to put them on and FET?
I got mine firestone 260s over at southern tire in beaumont thay were $800 out the door centramatics are only $200 a set
