The End Of Tire Talk...

[David Heibult]

Pete; I own a trucking and construction co. the reason there are parts of
tires on the side of the road is under inflation of the tires. I've used
just about ever brand of tire made. the best is Toyo or Bridgestone the
worst was Firestone.The only diff between the 12 and 11R22.5 is one inch
width of the tire . the wider the tire the less the fuel milage and the
hotter the tire will run. that is some of the reasons the super wide tires
never caught on. about weight the tire can carry, I used to haul large
transformers and would be over 200,000 gross weight , the biggest factor was
air pressure. I air everything at 100 to 110 psi.you get some wear patterns
after a while but it was nothing I could not live with.dave 91 WBPT 40
