Tire Advice - Best Quality 11R22.5 Tires?

I'd honestly recommend Michelin supper singles. The math just works. Depending on your current MPG, you will save at least 6,000/year in fuel. Even if they fail before 300,000 miles, you can buy a new set just on the fuel savings. Its like never needing to buy tires again because the fuel savings pays for the tires. I'd recommend the X ONE® LINE™ ENERGY D. That is the most fuel efficient tire on the road right now. For your trailer, the X One® XTA® is the best. For steers, XZA2® ENERGY will do the best.

Cons on singles:
Harder to limp if you blow out
More expensive to replace then single blow out. (although in many cases, tread mismatch is to much and you need to replace both anyway)
Less performance in deep snow.
More sensitive to improper inflation.

Pro on Singles:
Save at least 6000 per year
Better performance in deep snow, rain, and ice.
Half the tires to check air pressure.

 

Im assuming your longhaul, those tires wont hold up if you do a lot of off roading

 

I suggest low pro 295/75/22.5 yokohama RY617 on all ten positions... This helps with ride, mpg, and tire life... This option allows you to rotate all ten tires.. Obviously this is not ideal for all applications.. If you are running in deep snow or mud then a low rolling resistance lug tire for the drives from Michelin is a good choice.. Super single tires balloon up like a dragster tire in high heat.. This makes handling bad, wears the centers, and increases the chance of a blow out.. Blow a super single and you are sitting for a long time..

 

Don't buy Dunlap's for drive tires. I had 1 blow up, see another that's separating on side. The tire guy that come to replace my blow up, said they see Dunlap's blowing side walls more than other brand. I've never had problems with Firestones.

 

First off, almost all tire dealers now stock singles. Secondly, I've driven in texas in 115 degree heat my singles were fine. They were slightly over inflated, but not more then duals. Maybe a few psi. I now run nitrogen in all my tires to avoid temperature induced over and under inflate. Of course on the road i can fill um with air if i need to.

 

Top 2 brands are Michelin and Bridgestone. I signed up for the Michelin Advantage program. Saves about $90 over retail off a 11R24.5 I just checked on yesterday. 28% off the retreads.

I'm a cheapskate but I swear by my Michelins.

 

Dont buy retreads through advantage way cheaper to buy them direct from ozark or allied between 210 and 260 depending on cure. Process custom or premold and with casing credit drops another 60 off the price

 

I would not run super singles especially if you are pulling a dump. I drove for R and J for 7 years and they were always trying to save money and they ran them super singles for awhile and they quit because they was replacing them every time you turned around. if a super single blows while you at a delivery you cant dump the load. I know its not ideal with duals either but if careful you still can. also if its hot and your bed in the air and that super single decided to blow over you go. also when you are in rural areas super singles are extremely difficult to buy. seen them more than once have to buy two tires and rims to put on truck so they can get truck back to the yard. when I bought my truck I said never will I run recaps or super singles.
