Popular Post Joey Mack Posted October 16, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2022 My wife just chimed in.. She said when she has seen drivers wheel hopping, it was usually because they were trying to go to fast... She drove dump trucks for 13 years, from '87 -2000, before going over the road, anyway..... I think i'm just bragging on my wife at this point.... jojo 1 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70571-excessive-off-road-wheel-hop/page/2/#findComment-512254 Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I met Terri 12 years ago, she was a driver at a concrete pipe company that I had the fleet maint. contract with.. I heard a female voice one day, only to come around the corner to see a, fit, blonde, with a sweet little A$$ step backwards out of the Columbia she was driving, and I said,,,, WTF ??? anyway, I guess she liked me too.... It'll be 9 years on 11/06/22.. jojo now back to wheel hop... 2 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70571-excessive-off-road-wheel-hop/page/2/#findComment-512280 Share on other sites More sharing options...

"if you see a dust cloud, you are going too fast" their response is, cant make no money driving slow. i get paid the same driving 60mph, or 6 mpg. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

I’m going to put them at 110 psi and see if that helps. I would go even lower (80 - 90) , with out knowing your business I doubt your running a hundred miles to tip the load off As long as the tyres dont kiss when your on a pavedroad moving quick I reckon you'll be fine 110 is what most people that I know run on long distance type of trucks Never known anypne to run 120, most shop compressors dont go that high Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70571-excessive-off-road-wheel-hop/page/2/#findComment-512397 Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjc transport Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 all our trucks run 120-125 psi. the higher the pressure the lower the tire temps when loaded. 1 Quote when you are up to your armpits in alligators, it is hard to remember you only came in to drain the swamp..

Hayseed Posted October 18, 2022 Share Posted October 18, 2022 Michelin, recommend 110 in Steers & 85-90 in Drive & trailer Tyres for highway Running ... Or at least here in Australia..!! EDIT: those pressures are COLD 1 Quote "Be who you are and say what you feel...Because those that matter...don't mind...And those that mind....don't matter." - Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/70571-excessive-off-road-wheel-hop/page/2/#findComment-512402 Share on other sites More sharing options...
