    It's getting hot outside, and I was curious about what tires should I get next. I've compared the Continental HDR2 with the Bridgestone M760 Ecopia. I'm kind of stuck in between. Does anyone have anything to say about them in terms of performance and reliability?

    I had some Bridgestone m710 ecopia drives I bought new. And after 150,000 miles they were about half tread. After longhaul reefer type work.

    Bridgestone would out last. Steers and rears Michelens if you can afford to pay. Put panny to the miles and comfort and you see the difference

    I currently have some Bridgestone recaps on my truck right now, and safe to say I'm surprised they lasted this long. I would say they are about 8/32nds with no balled spots. I did have one replaced because it was seperating but the other 7 are just fine.

    I plan on replacing them either way. Just getting an opinion on which I should buy.

    I've got a set of m760 on my truck right now, very happy with them. I am expecting to get 200k miles out of mine by the time I trade the casings in. I run southern BC with 102,000 gvw and am loaded 95% of the time.

    What I don't like about them, they pick up a lot of gravel and im concerned about stone drilling when they wear down further. However depending on where you run that night not be an issue for you.

    I am running one truck with Yokohama ty517mc2 and another with Michelin energy D. So far they both are doing well. Had general and continental on steer and didn’t last at all. Now have Michelin xze2 and bfg st230.
