The only reason I even considered them is because a local trucking company uses them and has had great results...our local tire shops want 129 ea for the Tow Masters(thats whats on there now and have had a lot of failures) and 189 for Maxxis which are backorder....UGH

Plain and simple, I learned the hard way, no more chinese tires for my business.

Some of my friends have 10K or more on them with very few problems. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean to endorse ANYTHING made "off shore". Just an observation. I built and sold trailers for over 25 years and always used the Goodyear marathons if the customer would pay for them.
