    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.

    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

    That thing is hideous but thanks for the post Dolly Wheel’s now there’s something you don’t see every day and if you do, it’s usually sitting out in a field somewhere a banded lol bob

    I don’t blame you. My company is not that tight. I don’t know why they use such garbage on our trailers and Congers. They are blowing out constantly in the summer as I mentioned, we generally don’t have trouble with the drive tires. I don’t know what the difference is.

    Me too but again I know almost nothing about Cummins.. although I’ve been running them most all my life… Bob
  12. mowerman
    Yes, they do hold quite a bit. We use them but they’re usually for doubles to contact a Congear to the front trailer.weight usually between 300 -1000 pounds Bob

    I’ll be doing it all when I finally get to my DM except the two reupholstered seats and for sure tire change I am not doing them besides, I’m hoping to go to tubeless used container chassis ha ha and Larry. No I would not do that.unless they are tubeless …. I used to repair split rim tube types as a teenager. They are a ball buster.
  14. mowerman
    No, I do not get it either. They’re usually on the back of a dump truck unless I’m misunderstanding.Bob

    And yes, the tire was still inflated. The cap just left the tire I was bouncing so bad just to get it to a safe spot. I thought there was a lot more damage possibly DEF tank leaking and tore up. Absolutely no damage except the quarter fender … Bob

  19. mowerman
    I’ll tell you what bud I would be pissing myself if that truck was headed my way. Bob

    Oh, bought a 73 RL back in in 86 237 maxidyne I hated that thing it wasn’t so much the transmission the engine was gutless 40,000 pounds on the grapevine down to 12 miles an hour but the point being that transmission drove me crazy you’re constantly wanting to drop gears
  22. mowerman
    Extra hundred dollars or Whiskey come on back… Bob
  23. mowerman
    No man must’ve misunderstood Paul. Yes, they were new recaps only three weeks old I don’t get it. We usually don’t have any trouble with our tractor recaps tires. They’re all recaps and they run right down to smooth two hour delay. It wasn’t bad but I was already out of the yard one hour late, so a total of three hours. $$$

    Peterbilt pugsly get it rite bud!!!!!!!!
  25. mowerman
    Through the cap at 60 miles out of town I was almost done for the weekend. Oh well at least it’s Friday. I’d really be pissed if it was Monday. They just put those on around three weeks ago…. Bob
