Yes, I have heard most pull trailers are set up that way so there’s not too much tongue weight and yes 2000 pounds ain’t shit with a heavy hitch and mounting -

they all are... personally,i would feel more secure with fifth wheel drop deck,,,,all the weight on the back of the frame.absolutely nothing on the steer axle...bob -
Yes, the weather just barely broke here in my area and I am already seeing rubber everywhere. I wish my company would get away from them. We’re all blowing tires constantly out there all summer. You think they would get a clue and get rid of all the garbage as I mentioned, they’re really not a cheap shit company, not sure what the deal is

And yes thier 24-5s

Just tapped in used truck tires in Reno this popped up whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat???? That price is for 8 might have to consider them … Bob
-
I suppose I would be tickled to death if I could get each one for 2 to 300 I would just slap down the plastic

I was talking to our head mechanic a while back he was telling me a lot of times they have good used take offs he gave me the name and number of our vendor. I have not contacted this guy yet or done anything about it?

We have a couple of Shadetree tire shops in town here cash money I might be able to find something a little bit more good used not to be bad mouthing anybody but container. Haulers are usually Mexican or Iranian around here. I’m thinking might be able to swing a little bit shady deal with one of them ha ha who knows Bob

Excellent are used to get them every year mostly Oakland California Mac dealer when I was running my own truck years back they never get old. Thanks for the post …

OK now I’m getting off subject. Where is Joey when you need him with his knuckle whacking stick??????

Six months of snow in this hell hole. Soon as the weather broke here they all come.

Boy, the hornets should get comfortable on that thing. I just sprayed the hell out of it last weekend open the door to start it and noticed they’re still flying all around it. They’re either tough hornets or I didn’t put enough spray.
-
Excellent thank you I just walked outside to take another look at them and yes, all eight drives are definitely junk. Even the ones that have a little rubber on them. Funny part last time I put air in them was around 20 years ago and some of them are still rock hard must be magic tubes ha ha.
-
Thanks for that. I might get away with just eight drive tires for now the steers actually look drivable especially just around town. for now anyway, back ones are pretty much done especially this one. It was throwing rubber. Just driving it around my property a couple of weeks ago. try to download a photo it won’t take ha ha I think you posted that photograph right after you got them. Certainly nice looking tires.

Somebody once asked, why are they called a Mac to stick transmission a married box somebody said oh I don’t know I guess it’s because thier (STUCK) together ahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!
-
Well, you know how it is of course, they do things a lot different these days. Lots of folks meet on the Internet. Then it was easier going through friends or friends and you have questionable taste. I expect she did not realize I was such a pain in the ass and vice versa.

I think what he is trying to say is he doesn’t know why they didn’t use a fifth wheel trailer Bob -
I just paid $700 for a brand new Michelin yesterday but that was also a road service vendor. Of course the company paid the bill tires are ridiculous these days.
-
Well, from what I hear they’re 500 apiece and up I have the same issue I need all 10+ the tubeless rims. I doubt my truck will ever leave town if it ever makes it out of my yard at all so I will be looking for the cheapest shit I could find, as long as the tread is legal
-
When I started driving, we still had a lot of them around and they didn’t have Maxis if the air leaked out the trailer would roll away when you try to hook to it
