Listening to a trucker's advice is foolish. I drive an a 8 wheeler every summer. Long Haul. Trailers often have cheap Chinese trailers installed. Trailer tires don't last long so they figure why not. But you rarely see them on steers. The smart O/O's will have Michelins or another high line tire on the steers and often on the drives. When a trucker blows a drive or trailer tire usually there is not much damage to the unit. BUT on our MH's not only is there often physical damage to the body, wiring and air lines can be damaged. EXPENSIVE fix. There are many good brands of Asian tires. They do not sell for $200!! Hankook are excellent and OEM on Navistar and others. Tires is not an item where you want to buy the cheapest available. Nor would you want to listen to the constant hum from cheap tires.

I paid around $2,800.00 for my Michelin XRVโs about 3 years ago on the Michelin Advantage program. What I suggest is keep doing your research and purchase the best tire that you can afford. When it comes to tires, brakes or steering I would be very careful in my selection to have faithful equipment! Good Luck, with whatever you choose! Rooster

I have the weekend to still think it over. My Friend called me and said his tractors with the ironman now exceeded 60000 miles no problem and semi tractor trailers sometime gross 80,000 pounds if they are holding upper him and I only pay $500.00 for two tires out the door I am trying to say why not and I could mount them on the outside rear. but I did notice the two that are coming off are H rated and the Ironman are J rated and if they are in fact a subsidiary of cooper I will let you know what happens next week
