darn i was just  in that area Friday  ; heck of a good Polish deli off broad street.

This. I can't stomach the thought of running the cheap Chinesium tires. Especially on a steer axle. A lot of guys say they are fine but I don't know. Look at the quality of everything else manufactured in that country. Why would tires be any different? They just don't hold up like a Michelin, Continental, Goodyear, etc. in my experience.  

I'm running Cooper's on my Mack tri-axle's  4-year's now haven't a problem all the way around but they won't fit on anything being so wide coming so close to spring saddle or fifth wheel mounting....

RM-852 Cooper's 11-r x 24.5 just paid   2129.51 for 4   price's going up 466.00 a piece.....

I think its a supply and demand thing. A 425 float is a very commonly used tire available almost anywhere. They benefit from commonality and competition of many different brands making them. These 12R24.5s are fairly scarce by todays standards and not many companies make tires in that size anymore. The 12.00x24 is on a whole different level of scarcity yet. I think Bridgestone is the only "name brand" company left making virgin tires in that size at least available here. That's why you see such ridiculous prices on them.....They are the only game in town.

We have a tractor with 80,000 rear's it has 14.00 X 24 tire's dry rotted often wonder the cost to replace ?

I've been paying for 425/65-22.5 rm-332 .....721.15 out the door front float's Cooper's tax included and no old tire fee ?
