slpwlker Posted November 23, 2011 Share Posted November 23, 2011 Yeah I bought 8 Firestone FD690's they where out the door 5 and change. I dread to see what my Michillin Steers are going to be when I get them again which are 425's Might go with Continentals again on the fronts. When I bought them last year 1011 a piece. They suck and going to need 4 more trailer tires this year and 4 more on the Lift axle.

slpwlker Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 I did have 2 Dynatracs on I bought on the road last year and they held up really well till I put the new tires on the back axle first and they started wearing odd. but considering the weights I haul they where great and decent price Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/21765-anybody-buy-tires-lately/#findComment-91763 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RowdyRebel Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 $1236.61 for a pair of Michelin XZE2 LRH in 11R24.5 on 10/26...then another $94.70 to have 'em mounted & balanced. Normally, I do my own tires...but the last set only lasted 6 months. Breaking the leaf spring may have had something to do with it...but the wear looked like an out-of-balance situation, so I figured a little extra to get 'em spin balanced might make 'em last a little longer.

I know you need the weight capacity on a tandem dump, but they really hit you on the price of the 12's. I used to run Conti Hsc's and they were right around $400. They were over $600 when I switched to the 11's. Bought 8 11r24.5 Yokohama 16ply 501za for $405 a piece last may. I dont want to know what they are now. I just priced getting some of my own casings re-capped and a 11r24.5 is over $200 on MY CASING! I dont want to know what they are going to get for a 11.00 24!
