    going from 22.5 to 24.5

    I've never done it, but those that are supposed to know actually claim just the opposite to be true. Michelin builds a very good tire for maximum fuel mileage. They don't offer it in 24.5, which says alot IMO. There are many things you can do to improve fuel mileage. The same money that you...

    Need Help - No experience Owner Operator

    Good advice. It would have been much better if you had done your research before you got the van, but reality is you didnt. I would do as xiggi suggested. Call every company you can find. Find out which companies will take on a team with no experience, then do some research on this site. Teams...

    bargaining with the dealer

    Need You Guys/Gals expert advice....Thanks!

    There a few on this site that have similiar gigs. You should be able to turn at least 50% of the money into profit, with you as the driver. Your pay would come from the 50%. If there isnt 50% in it, either your expenses are too high or the rates are too cheap. Its going to be tough to give...

    That's a great website if you run a t/t. Try this one: Compare LT285/75R16 Tires | Michelin Tires You will probably have to scroll to the right in the comaprison window, but the weight ratings are there. My apologies...the correct size is 285/75/16...i had said 70 earlier.
