I recently replaced the BF Goodrich ST234 steering tires on my International 9200. They had reached 187407 miles and still had "DOT Legal" tread depth, but they made me a bit nervous. I thought that was pretty good. I'm hoping the new Goodyears will go farther, like 200+K miles. I check...

I've looked over the freight available on U-Ship from time to time, and found there's been nothing listed that I would consider "decent" from a $-per-mile standpoint. I'll qualify my statement by saying that I look for freight that will get me back to my approximate home area (150 mile radius...
