Bill, Depending on where you are, you may have a couple of options as to where to get new tires for your truck. Farm supply/ Co Op's/ Agriculture supply type places are one source. Another is Les Schwabb dealers. Check around your area for tire dealers that handle truck/bus tires. Many of the regular tire places around town only handle passenger and light truck type tires and don't have the right size tires for these trucks nor do they have the equipment to safely work on them. Like Paul, I got my STA SuperLugs through VPW. If you really want Michelin's, and the truck tire dealers cann't help, there are a couple of places that sell government surplus tires. One such place is Dollar Tire in Alberta, Canada. There is another place somewhere down around Georgia or Florida. I've heard that you can get used tires that still have %80 to %90 tread on them at these places. Good luck and happy hunting, Robert
