This thread is for owners or past owners of Freightliner DPs with these tires.
I had another thread going about these tires which ran its course. It occurred to me there was a better question when donkeydew was good enough to answer it with his own experience with these tires. Said he's on his 3rd set.
If you have a Freightliner DP with these tires... and you've driven on snow and/or ice... I'd like to know how they performed for you.
Thanks in advance.
A little background:
Michelin has a proprietary tire size for certain Freightliner DPs. Online forums are replete with dissatisfaction with the OEMs in regard to early checking. (Note: Not baggin' on Michelin. Their Defender LTX M/S are my preferred tire for the wife's Highlander. Awesome tire!)
The Toyo M154s are considered one of the best replacement options because they're a sturdy, smooth, quiet commercial truck tire that happens to be available in a size that is very close to the OEM. I was able to find, I believe only 5 others in that size from the likes of Yokohama, Goodyear, etc. All with similar looking tread.
Cheers,
Kendall
