What does rear ratio in a semi means?

What tires are you running?

 

Michelin XDN2.

 

They are pretty good tires. How have they been on the new truck so far? Gonna get over 200K on them you think?

 

Way over. I’m at 137k now and they’re still over 20/32 tread left.

 

That is pretty good. I need to measure mine before to much longer. Was gonna do it at 100K to get a good number and see.

 

Overall are you happy with your purchase? If you could do it again, would you change anything?

When I started with Stevens I was averaging 8-8.5 mpg, even while running Appalachia. This was in a 9-speed manual. I'm wondering what the heck kind of set-up they have that gets them such great mileage.

 

Some can maintain the speed limit going uphill better than others depending on the gear ratio while others have a higher top speed on flat ground depending on the gear ratio.

 

Rears mean everything!!
