    Looking for information on these drives. Prices are super cheap. Any other suggestions on a mid priced set of drives.

    2300 with 50 per casing. Is it worth it to go Chinese?

    You get what you pay for, the dollars you save buying cheap Chinese tires will be paid back several times over by the high rolling resistance the tires have. More rolling resistance, more fuel used. The only way I would buy those tires is if I was getting rid of the truck.

    I'm about to get 275k out of a set Kelly kda. They are not round. They hop and bounce. Bad batch I believe. I paid 3k for them. Running a mid roof hood fuel mileage has always been around 6. Any other suggestions in that relative price range that would be recommended?

    Friend of mine always buys those because they are cheap, he'll go thru 2-3 sets of them in the time I go thru a set of Bridgestone or Michelins.

    They are the tires my former company was running. We were getting about 190-210K out of them.

    I've never run them myself, but at a previous company a lot of guys bought them and literally burned through them in a year. (Intermodel) The Chinese are not known for their quality of rubber.
    The company then started offering a Japanese brand and they at least held up longer.

    Did you look at Kelly tires, I hear for the money, they hold up pretty good.

    I have kelly kda on now. I'm going to get about 270k. They are out of round. I can't even get them to balance. I am told the serial number matches a bad batch. I am considering another set
