Re: 8 lug tires and rims
well the only reason I'm worried about tire longevity at all is because I cut firewood A LOT. I have some pretty beefy springs and air bags for when I get real ambitious.
I added an extra two leafs to the rears and one extra leaf in the front in addition to what was already on my stock 1 ton springs.
I haul around 50 cords a year anywhere from ten miles down the road to sometimes 45+ miles when the price is right.... Sometimes that entails hauling three cords at a time.... two on a trailer and one in the bed. That's a **** ton of weight to be hauling constantly on tires that aren't even going to last me a year and a half. It'd be all work with no tread left for play! NOT COOL
