Highway Tractor tires....

Tandem needs new shoes.
Had new Bridgestones on when I bought the truck. They seemed to get chewed pretty hard by stubble and gravel.
Doesn't really haul any grain to terminals(tare is too heavy)
Buy recaps or just a better/harder rubber compound tire.
Recaps don't excite me.
I'm not a fan of low quality cheap off-store "junk".

What brands do you guys recommend?
Opinions please.

I like Bridgestone 775. They seem to outlast anything else and they are aggressive.

I like Michelin XDS2 for drive tires. They are especially good in the winter.

Phone the guy in foam lake for truck tires the Chinese he sells are all you need we use them on all semis and tandems. Last just about as long as Michelin etc.

we sure are having good luck with Mitas on tractors , really good tires, not sure about trucks
we just use overseas tires , work good

We have gone to Chinese tires on the drive wheels and have been satisfied with the quality for the most part. Most are under $250 per tire. I know of guys who have gone together and bought in large volumes have got them quite a bit cheaper. A few guys redoing their super b's can add up to a pretty big order.

I bought a new grain trailer in 2004. It came with Michelin tires. Just replaced them with chinese tires. There was lots of tread left but sidewall were rotting so I went for more plys. They aren't likely going to wear out.

You need to get almost twice the life out of a namebrand for it to pay.

China is screwing us in the canola market. I don't support them. Includes Sygenta, Chem China etc.

Wow $250 tires would definitely get my attention. I put Chinese on my step deck trailer and they were still over $400 each.

Agree with SF, Roadlux tires from Silk Tire in Foam Lake. Don’t want to support China but not paying stupid high prices for Bridgestone just to ruin them on gravel.
