    Straight truck driver tire suggestions

    Excellent point. I’ve run 445,000 on good drive tires on a class 8. I was going to suggest spending more to get better longevity, but forgot to factor in rolling resistance. And peace of mind. Regardless what you buy, if you don’t monitor pressure you’re throwing money out the window. BIG TIME.

    I sold a guy a 94 Freightliner . He got 200,000 miles out of the steers. He called me for advice on replacement tires . 200,000 miles ? Buy the exact same tire . What are you replacing ? What improvement are you trying to gain ? How do you run and where ?

    Does this tick anyone off

    I’m just wrapping my head around paying to park and I’m told today that, at least at this TA in CT, the later in the day you reserve the more you pay.
