    I have a truck that needs it's drives replaced. I'm just looking for comments experience. We have a national tire account with Bridgestone and Yokohama. Yokohama is on back order for super singles.

    Is michelen worth the up charge?

    Michelin will get you the best mpg. Their tires have the lowest rolling resistance on the market. I run Michelin’s on my trailer and they do much better than the Bridgestone I had. I run all super singles.
    I’ve run Bridgestone singles on my last truck and got great wear out of them. Have you looked in to Hankook singles? They’re putting out some high quality stuff too. Of all the other brands, the Hankooks come closest to Michelin in rolling resistance. I’m running some Hankook trailer radials on my tag axle right now.

    Have had very good results with the Michelin tires. Tried Goodyear once. Was not impressed by them. Did not get the mileage from them compared to the Michelin.
