Broken Cord on Michelin Tire

[Gregory OConnor]

I think cords get screwed on rv tires because drivers make
stationary turns with the steers and park with that stress between
the plys for months. Owner operator pro drivers pull forward then
back after final turn to set the drive axle tires inline and steer
tires relaxed prior to parking.

John, I just finished 12 months and aprox 20,000 miles with used
(off my bus) 7 year old 12R's on my dump truck. I go off road and
overload them often. they have 6 months to go. I think you gotta do
the math and calc out a new set every 8 years. the advantage of
rotating out a set is two fold. 1- you get about $200. to $300. for
a set(2 tires) of 3,4 year old used tires @ 80% thread. 2- you will
always run less than 2 year young tires on the steer.

To replace all 6 every 8 years,
6 tires @$425 per =$2550. / 8years = $315 per the year.

to replace a pair every 30 months
2 tires @425.per = $850 -credit for used 200.=650 / 2.5 years =$260
per year.
