The price of fuel and no one is talking about tires made for higher mpg but the MPG Man. Hmm. Good mpg equals cash. More cash than you'll save from cheap tires most likely. http://staging.michelintruck.com/mic...calculator.jsp

This is about singles but it is also about rolling resistance. Some steers have less rolling resistance than others according to the manufacturer.

There was a deal in the news awhile back where Chinese tires were being recalled. Of course I don't remember anything more than that if I knew in the first place. Perhaps someone knows. I could find it.

A friend of mine runs dumps that gross out at about 125,000 lbs He runs Triangle, Linglong,Hercules whatever he gets the best price on. All the cheap tires he's bought have never had a blow out yet. They might not last like a Michelin but they are also up to 200 dollars a tire cheaper to buy. If I was running local or doing something where you can wreck tires easily I'd be running cheap ass tires too.

I have Double Coin on the drives on my International. They are 24.5's and I believe that I paid about $255 each. So far they have worn very well. They are made in China but as a joint venture with Michelin. I spoke with some people at International and they are supposed to be putting them on their new trucks. The tread is very thick. It reminds me of the Bridgestones, but at about 1/2 the price of a Bridgestone.

You couldn't pay me to run Chinese tires on my rig. I run Bridgestones, I rather pay more and have a piece of mind, than run Chinese made tires, especially with all the Q/C problems they have lately.

I get my tires on the Bridestone National Tire account so they are not as much as retail.

Good luck with them.

"the look-alikes may not deliver the same grip or longevity of performance as an authentic Michelin tire."
