Why do so many Americans hate European trucks?

The tyres on the steer axle are 375/45 N 22.5 , and the load rating seems to be 156.
The trailer tyres are 265/55 R 19,5 with load rating 141/142.
I can't make out the size and load rating of the rear tyres of the truck.

 

Those 17.5s tend to disintegrate pretty quickly at our highway speeds during summer temperatures.

 

Pretty sure those 17.5 and those axles are the same ones someone called stupid on the "superdump".

The trailer uses German made BPW Eco Plus axles.

 

Temperature and speeds are more moderate here.

 

It is correct lower you go more problems you have,one of reasons why did i wrote i dont like them.
But if you need volume, loading height you need to take compromise.

 

Tatra Phoenix 6x6 truck. DAF owns about 20% of Tatra, and this Phoenix uses a DAF CF cab, and a DAF MX engine combined with the ZF AS Tronic gearbox.



The transfer box in the central tube of the chassis. It connects the gearbox to the central drive shaft inside the central tube.

 

I was referring to tag axle on the tractor.

 

DAF produces its own tag axles, and as far as I can see this is a normal DAF axle.
