If the Transforce wear anything like what my OEM Firestone Transforce HT's did I would stay clear of them. 28K they were worn out, not a good tire IMO.
Plenty of tires out there that have proven themselves much better then what the Firestones I had did, and many that have reported the same results.
Agreed. Terrible mileage. Needed replacing at that same 28K mileage. Wear bars were flush with tread.
I have probably read more bad reports about those Transforce, then good. Makes me wonder why the difference , when I read the good reports.
I rotated mine every 5K , proper inflation , etc etc. They worn down very evenly, and very fast. I had OEM Firestone's on a new Ford Superduty, although not the Transforce, they also were worn out in less then 30K.
Two brands I stay away from , Michelin, and Firestone. I suspect as time goes on the Sailun Terramax AT's will start to show up as a quality tire, same as the Sailun S637 at half the cost of Michelins, Firestone's etc.
