Yokohama Tires?
A fellow I know distributes tires to most of the local trucking companies. His people deliver the tires to the companies, and install them at their place of business. I want to replace our 22.5 tires due to age so I asked him what he could do for me.
He can get any tire on the market, but he recommends Yokohama Tires. Now I already have two of them on my steer axle and have no issues with them at all. He also showed me that the Yokohamas are a heavier duty tire than the Michelons on my drive axle. I checked with a couple of the trucking companies he services and sure enough, they are running all Yokohamas.
So what's the price I asked? $330.00 a tire and he will buy back my old Michelons for reuse else where. That sounded pretty good so I ordered four of them to be mounted next week.
Any comments?
