Was thinking about purchasing some for the drives but want some feedback first.

I'd go back to my Firestone FD695+ again before those.

But if its all you can afford, get them.

I had to buy some tires from Love's a few weeks ago. I believe that was the brand that I purchased. I try to not buy on the road and to only buy from my distributor, but I was under a critical load and time was short. I didn't have time to go by my usual distributor. I have only had them on the truck for a short time, but so far, so good.

Cheap chinese crap, spend a few extra bucks and get a name brand that ain't Chinese

It is usually more than a few bucks. And when the U.S. manufacturers start standing behind their products, I will go back to U.S. made tires. I can't see paying at least $100 or more for a tire that isn't any better than the cheaper brand. I have had the Chinese brands stand behind their products when U.S. brands won't. I will never again buy Goodyear. I had 3 legitimate claims and they would not stand behind any of them. That was probably over 15 years ago. I have bought Bridgestone for my step deck and they would not stand behind their product. Whil I prefer buying American, I won't do it when I am not receiving a superior product or one where the manufacturer will stand behind their product. I refuse to pay $600 for Bridgestone when I can buy Chinese for $300 or less.

I wouldn't say that. Got a set of 4 double coins on one trailer axle. Wearing well enough for me to consider putting another set of 4 on the other axle.

I have gotten very long wear from Double Coin on my drives and trailers. They wear as well or better than most other brands.

agree gman we run aoelas and double coin and getting as good if not better than bridgestone or Michigan and half the price.that on logging trucks to

I put 4 double coin tires on my trailer, 3 were gone within 50,000 miles the last one has now been on for 120,000, seems it just wont wear out, one of the double coins had the center come out of it, still waiting on the claim, most of the guys I work with have tried them with the same results...........

Here in the northeast the chinese tires are maybe $30 to $50 dollars less, there are absolutley NONE under $300, thats for sure.
I run HEAVY loads......over 80,000............the chinese tires just dont last.

I agree Bridgestone is over priced, but you can get Goodrich ot Kelly tires for just a little more than chinese here, and thats what I run
