I knew the day would come when I would have to pony up and buy a set of tires for my freightliner.  Just looking for recommendations on where others have bought/ordered their tires.  Tires are Michelin 255/80r22.5.  I have priced around the Raleigh NC area and looks like its going to be around $400 a tire (yea I had to sit down for that one).  Just trying to find out if anyone knows of better deals out there.

Location: Central Arkansas		Did you get your tires on your FL? If so, where did you end up getting them from? A guy told me just the other day that he got a good deal on some just the other day from the  Freightliner plant in NC. I didn't know they even sold parts there.

   They are building so few trucks now, I guess they have a big stock pile of tires standing by getting a little older every day...... The clock is running on those tires in storage, I imagine you'll soon see new trucks with two year old tires on them.

    I talked to a guy last week that works at a KW factory in Ohio. He said they used to build 50-60 trucks a day.... Now they may build 6 to 10 a day. He said they were working 5, 4, and 3 day weeks now.

Location: North Carolina		I havent bought any yet.  Still waiting on my NC income tax check to come in.  Was suppose to be here over 3 weeks ago.   I will have to give the freightliner plant a call to see if they have any tires they need to move.
