Ok to not so good, I guess. I got about 20K out of them, but I'm not exactly easy on tires. I don't burnouts and such (not often), but I'm not afraid to lay down a good hard acceleration run when pulling away from a stop, and I can sometimes take a corner a little faster than what most do in a truck. I mean, there's only so much a tire can do when it's being thrashed around by an 8000 pound truck with a lead-footed driver. However, for the most part, I'll trade some shorter tread life for an increase in traction.

Hey ya'll know what Bills stands for right?
Boy
I
Love
Losing
Superbowls
LOL. I'm actually not too big into sports myself, but I do like the Bills and Pats. The Raiders I really wouldn't say I hate, but damn, out here in California thier fan base is made up primarily of folks that would be easily taken for umm, thugs, ahhh, hooligans....

I think I paid about 1800 for the Kelly Springfields I have on here now in Macon, Georgia in 1998. I am just guessing at the 3k figure the way everything else has gone up so badly. I did pay 2200 for a set of Michelin that I did not like at all, that was probably in 1991 or '92 I have been real happy with the Kellys though. What I really need is to find someone that will trade me work for tires.

I forget what we used to sell them for though, I only worked in sales for a short time before I became the foreman, and I forget most of the prices now.

Im surprised you didnt like the michelin's. We sold pretty good ones though, not the lower end ones.
We sold kelly's too, but they were cheapies, they were ok, but didnt last a whole long time!
Set of ten tires on a semi truck would usually run a guy around the 5k mark.
