Michelin tires
Hello,
Could you tell me how many miles you run with Michelin tires ? |
My Michelin steers have about 100,000 miles on them, and still look brand new. I'm expecting to get about 300K out of them. My next set will be Michelin as well. More expensive, but definitely worth the extra cost IMHO.
|
I usually get 250,000 miles out of a set of XZA3 steers, 24.5LP. If they were 11R2.45's, I'd get a little more out of them.
|
Bridgestone is a much better tire than Michelin, the rubber compound is a little harder so it lasts longer.

I couldn't agree with you more Rev. I run the Michelin XZA3's on my steers as well, I got 450,000 kms (280,000 miles) out of mine which according to the Michelin rep was phenomenal, especially on the roads I run. I wouldn't have anything else on my truck. Bridgestone tires are junk as far as I'm concerned. They came with my truck & I didn't get 100,000 miles on them before they started to cup.
As Rev said, they are more expensive, but well worth the extra money. |
Don't get me wrong - I love my Bridgestone M726's on my drives. With 222,000 miles on them, they are wearing quite nicely. But as far as steers go, I wouldn't run anything but Michelin ever again.

X-ONE's I run them for a 150k and then rotate to trailer and buy new X-ONE's for the drives.
|
Far as drives go I run Goodyear re-caps...nothing better for the crap roads I run on. Most of us consider ourselves lucky if we get a year out of our tires. I got 1-1/2 out of my steers & 1 out of my drives. I consider myself one of the lucky ones as I got 350,000 kms (around 200,000 miles) out of my last set of caps.

I am very suprised, you got more 200000 miles, with my Michelin tires XZA 2/ENERGY 385/55 R.22.5 I done 150000 km ( 93000 miles ).
