Dear Don,

I own a 1999 Kenworth T-2000. I knew going in that my front tire life would not be the best because all the setback axles I’ve been around in Alaska did poorly, (around 60,000 miles at best). I would assume because of the extra weight up front. My truck came with Michelin XZA2 rubber on the front and by the time it had 61,000 miles on it they were cupped out and shaking bad not to my surprise. I put on a new set of Michelin XZE (a cheaper more inferior tire, according to the dealer, and when the tires had 9000 miles on them, at 70,000 miles I put on your Air Springs. I did nothing to the alignment, in fact I didn’t even set the tow in, as I wanted to see if I wasted my money with your product. I just pulled that set of tires off at 164,900 miles, for a total of 103,900 miles on them, which is a 70% increase in tire life. I am very impressed with the tire life and improved ride and handling your Air Bags gave me. Up here in Alaska given the road conditions we have to deal with this kind of mileage is almost unheard of on any truck, let alone one that carries 12,300 lbs. on the front bob-tail. Thanks again for a quality product.

Sincerely,
J. Rule
