Are you a member of the Cummins High Mileage Club? For $4.95 you get a grill badge for every 100,000 miles. I'm going to sign up. Need to send an exterior pic, a odo pic & fill out the application. I'm just passing on some fun info, I'm not doing this for profit!
Yes, I've seen that on DTR and on the CUMMIN's site. I'll wait another year when the truck hits 200k.
I blew out one of my Firestone tires & the spare was a Michelin, I was debating what tires to put on it when the time comes. A friend of mine put the Firestones on his 2500 GMC van the tire guy sells all kind of tires he said that you could spend more money for a tire but you wouldn't find a better tire then the Firestone.
Depends on the contemplated use, miles expected and over what time period. I've yet -- anywhere -- to come across any real competition to MICHELIN for light duty truck class tires. The cost is higher, granted, but life expectancy, ease in balancing, etc, all make up for it. They're bulletproof, IMO. There are no cheap tires anymore. Not that others may not be okay, but it isn't the same thing. The LTX M/S line is now expanded to Load Range E. I'd make that range of tires the default to compare others to (see results of customer surveys on Tire Rack). Really, it's an analysis of your own use. A lot of "business miles" around an agricultural environment (stock tending) is a good deal different than loads of highway miles, and the "cost" of losing an animal or being able to get feed to a group of animals in a snowstorm makes some considerations moot. But with tires and brakes you tend to get what you pay for.
