I've always maintained 18 identical tires&bank..Bridgestone seems to be pricing themselves out of the market,plus discontinuing R280's..Also had some shoulder issues with a few..Thinking about switching completely to Toyo's(M177 or M137)..Any comments on Toyo's,but only if you truly ran them..Thanks.

I don't know about Toyo because I have never bought any. However, may I suggest Continentals? I think they are the best tire value out there for a premium tire. They beat Bridgestone steering tires hands down. For me, anyway. Just my two cents.

Mr, Mata,
I've gone back to BFG for all my new tires. With my Michelin national account I feel I'm getting good pricing anywhere I need a tire. Also the BFG casings cap well with the Michelin custom cap option. I cap good casings once as a drive then once as a trailer. Everyone truck seem to do well with a particular brand. One person has suggested Continental. I bought 6 of their steer tires. Two came apart. The others had a short life and the prices to me were ridiculous, but your truck's might do well. The Continental capped well. I have friends running Toyo. My observation is they get crazy wear patterns late in life. Ran some Yokohama on one truck, a Pete, they made 3 months. They are now caps. Getting the national account has been a huge step for us. Good luck. Tires are a challenge. Art Pfluger |

Mr,Mata, after reviewing your post I see that I didn't really adhere to your request. My apologies, however if I can help let me know. I feel that the BFG is a good path, but as I said I don't know anything about your truck or operation. Good luck.

General is the way to go. Love them. I recap my casings and sell to the stick haulers. A cap will tare the shit out a alum hopper. Most steers and drives I'll regrove and run on trailer before caping.
I know a lot of guys that have had trouble with the Bridgestone tires. I'd stay away.

We have had good success with Bridgestone R283 in steer position. We are in the process of testing R268 in all positions. So far so good
