    How do you balance your tires, or do you?

    One thing I have not done to my truck is to balance the tires, and I know I need to. Tires are in pretty good shape despite not being balanced, but there is a bit of vibration that I would like to get rid of. There are lots of options for balancing, and I have no idea which works best. I am...

    Is there a difference between trailer and drive tires?

    I started running drive tires that look like steer or trailer tires with non aggressive tread. If it's bad enough outside I chain up. My question is. I was just looking at my trailer tires and drive tires and don't see any difference. Is there a difference in my case?

    Squirelly Tires?

    Last week, all the tires on my tractor were replaced with virgins. I drove it empty over to a sawmill to get loaded, and thought, "Wow, I didn't think the old tires were that bad", regarding the ride. The boss loaded me up, and we got talking about the work that had just been done, new top...

    Nitrogen filled tires

    Saw this at the tire shop today. Talked with the manager who gave me some good anecdotes from local drivers on this. It's simple, costs about $15 per tire and it works great. Drexan Nitrogen Tire Inflation Trial The nitrogen molecule is bigger so it doesn't leak or change pressure like...
