Im looking for the chespest NEW 22.5 drive tire. Its for the septic truck that will go no more then 12,000miles a year. Thats why i want to go cheap. My Mack i run BFGs on. But i aint spending 400/tire for a truck that does such low miles. Thanks

 

That's understandable, but why not the retreads?

 

Well it has full fenders that are used as hoses trays. I think if a recap would blow it would mess up the fender?? Im going to price some caps out too.

 

I run Double Coin on my drives and trailer. I have had excellent service, durability and wear from them. My drives are RLB 400's.

 

How much??

 

mackman how far from harrisburg are you? if it can wait i'll be selling my low pro luggers on my truck now. bridgestones. i love them but i got a great deal on new tires. wont be untill thanksgiving time though. right now my front axle on bothsides is around 80% pass side rear around 60.. but that'll change. just throwing it out there.

 

I think i might be able to wait. What model bridgestones. Im about 1 1/2hrs from harrisburg

 

i need to look. they're caps.. i'll let you know tomorrow.

 

Considering you are not running very many miles a year, cheap is indeed the way to go. That being said, I run around 135,000 miles a year and am using Michelin's Custom Molded Retreads on Michelin and Bridgstone casings. Cost for a complete retread tire around $230. With trade in cases, I can get them for $170 a tire. And like you, I have plastic fenders over those drive tires and not worried about them. You can have a new virgin tire take those fenders out as well. If a person is serious about watching the air pressures and such on a retreaded tire, the likelyhood that it will throw a cap is remote.

 

i got Roadmaster brand new tires for $290, plus got $75 for my old trade ins, so $215 per tire for brand new tires. F and S tire in Avenel, NJ.
