    I put 8 Continental HSRs on my trailer, so far I really like them. I paid like $340-$350, but I've no access to a national account. Side scrub is minimal.

    I just have never been able to beat the milage I get on those Michelin ZXA3 steers. I have a set on MY truck right now with 140,000 on them and they are still at 9/32". The Bridgestone 720's wear good on drives. Not as good as the 726's, but they are a MUCH better fuel mileage tire.

    And as for that $281 price on Bridgestones, maybe through swift or JB's national account. That is the only way you are getting that price. Or they could be one of the regional all position second rate tires that Bridgestone makes.

    That just shows how little you know..... It is amazing on what kind of prices one can get when they buy from the same tire shop for 10 years.

    What size? 255s for a step deck?....

    Just to good to be true that an O/O is getting new 22.5 tall or 24.5 lopros virgin Bridgestones for that. More power to ya tho if true.

    I'd like to know where your dealer is getting these from..............

    Centramatics did wonders on this truck. Before I put them on, I was getting 110-120,000 per set, which I wasn't really complaining about. I wish all of 'em would average that 110-120,000 and I would be happy.
