I have owned 3 sets of the guard dog pattern tires, 1 set on a 2000 jeep cherokee(sold before i put to many miles on it, 1 set on a reg cab chevy 2500 gasser 4x4, i sold it with a little over 20k on that set and they had only wore a 1/4 of the tread, the last set I just had put on my duramax and have about 10k with little wear. I have numerous friends and family that bought these and they are worth the money.

as far as steer tires go its only illegal for big rigs.
Having said that and having driven a whole lot of different rigs, I have never seen anyone run caps on a semi front position. RR |
Anybody who puts a recap on the steer axle of a big rig should be immediatly shot in the head :raygun:

Technically it's legal to run recaps on the steer axle of a big rig, but in practice it's very rare. Trucks that do run 'em on the steers generally have enough other problems that if a DOT officer inspected 'em they'd never see the road again.
The statement that recaps are legal to run on non-bus steer axles is according to federal law, state and local laws may differ. |
I ran recaps floaters on the front of a linkbelt crane for years. Crane weighed 58,000 lbs. Never had a problem but very top speed was 60 mph down hill. Most of the time I was running between 30 and 45. I wouldn't run them on the front of my dumptruck but I do run caps on the rear.

304000 just rotated. Fronts were showing some where due to my bad alignment but thats what you get with 304000 miles

Okay, I just reread the thread from the beginning again. You have approximately 6000 miles on those tires with minimal issue. That's good, when I originally read that last post I thought you meant you had 304,000 miles. I've seen semis get that kind of milage out of the drive tires, usually less from the steers. Getting that kind of milage out of LT tires would be incredible. As in causing me to question your credibility. Maybe running semi tires on a pickup, IDK. Anyway, keep us updated, thanks.:c:
