    What Michelins do you recommend for steer tires and what what they cost on average?

    M713 is what in running they are great road tires. But are not very good if u go offroad to muddy or snowy/icey jobsites because they have that closed tread pattern. That is my only complaint. Otherwise they are really quiet and wearing really well on my truck . had em 6 months so far

    We purchase top Bridgestone M770
    more pricey, but worth the $$

    I like the 66205 16 ply XLEZ for an OTR steer tire. Hate seeing folks doing normal OTR use AP tires on steer.

    I'd say they're gonna average around $620 each. If you found them under 600$ it's a good deal.

    I could not find a set of Michelin when I was looking for tires, went with Bridgestone 726ela that I ended up getting for the same price as the firestones that I wanted, that were just the last gen of the bridge stones,

    Michelin 16 ply are on the steers though

    I have a set of BF Goodrich d454 now. Excellent mpg on that truck. Only 40k miles on them, can't confirm on longevity yet
