Tire age vs wear

[Gregory OConnor]

Curt, I put the old set from my bus on my 10 wheeler dumptruck (Old
as 9 years-). There was little wear on them and I am hoping to get 8
months ( same as a set of recaps). If you want to rotate tires off
your bus call me I'll buy them.

A good program is to rotate a new set on the front of the bus every 2
years. that way you will always steer new tires and will be running
on tires less than 6 years old. Your budget is one tire per the year
(@$400.tire =$35.00 per month). ( @$300. for 11r22.5's, my dumptruck
tire budget is $332.month.)
