Ahhhh….finally, cruise control set at 68mph, the sweet spot for the Duramax. Got my best mileage yet at just over 10, instead of 8s/9s. Bring on the trailer tire devouring TX summer heat... We’re ready.

I have always had good luck using Bridgestones. When ever I had to replace original stock tires, I used Bridgestones. I hope you have the same kind of luck I did.

I am told that my stock tires have seen some troubles in the past so I am going to keep an eye on them. Any sign of unusual wear and I will be replacing them with a good quality tire like you did.

Do a search on "Tires" (etc.
Spend some time reading the various threads & posts.
If you were told your tires "have seen some troubles in the past" - -
you may be in the quick sand already, LOL!

The sign of 'Unusual Wear' will be a large bubble or tread separation...if you're lucky (like I was when I found 3 out of 4 fairly new U.S. made ST tires fixing to blow, 100 miles from home).
Many times it will be someone driving beside you, pointing back to a smoking, shredding trailer tire.  Just my experience....on hot roads at slow speeds.
