    Ordering a new KW truck and have never ran Bridgestone drives or steers. Did a quick search on what the dealer had specced out (BS R268 Ecopia) for the steer and they are not showing to be truck load tires. The drives are specced for M760 Ecopia's which Bridgestone is showing as a truckload tire.

    Any recommendations for long haul, 80k gross? We run PNW to Texas and surrounding states, and sometimes near Illinois. Steer axle is rated for 13.2k so I would like to spec something for that weight rating although I won't be running at that weight for OTR.
