Vegas Teacher Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Howdy all! I got a price for zenna tires 8 drives mounted balanced tire fee, F.E.T. tire change fee and all new valve stems + 3 axle alignment for just over $4000.00. What do you guys know about 14 ply Zenna brand tires? Later, Vegas Teacher - Cory Ossana Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil D Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Cory, I last bought tires (both truck and trailer) in the fall of 2018, and I'm sure that prices may have gone up since I bought, but nearly $500 each for an unknown brand seems to be extremely high to me. I don't blame you for not wanting to pay a premium price for name-brand tires that are going to "age out" instead of wear out -- I did the same thing when I bought mine. I bought Hercules tires for my truck and trailer, and on the trip home from northeastern Pennsylvania back to the Rio Grande Valley, I was well pleased with them. You might call one of the two Hercules commercial truck tire dealers in Las Vegas (according to the Hercules web site there's one north of town, and one west of town, whichever is closer to you), and see what they can do for you. Based on what I paid a year and a half ago (about $310 each, installed), I can't imagine that they'd be almost $500 each now.

tyates007 Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 I second Hercules tires. I have been running them on all 3 axles for the past 5 years and have been very happy with them, including the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollytrolley Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 Teach, Tons (pun intended) rock and mine guys in the Arizona use IRONMAN tires and they contend that NO other brand at any price even come close when you are pulling out of hard rock mines over rocky roads out to I-10 then running 79MPH on 119f days with BIG load. Maybe you don't need 18 ply tough tires but I paid $300 per tire in Pahrump mounted so it might pay for you come on over the pass to save some $$$$$ We replaced some 5 yr Michs on the motorhome last year and even though are a HEAVY DUTY tire 18 ply they ride very nice and are very low noise. I checked the runout before installing them and they were VERY VERY true, I was amazed. I checked balance on the rig and they ALL were very well in natural balance as well........very well crafted tires. Trust me rock haulers know a LOT about tires and tire prices...... Drive on............Keep those tires ......round Quote 97 Freightshaker Century Cummins M11-370 / 1350 /10 spd / 3:08 /tandem/ 20ft Garage/ 30 ft Curtis Dune toybox with a removable horse-haul-module to transport Dolly-The-Painthorse to horse camps and trail heads all over the Western U S Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cory, the Hercules dealers that I referred you to earlier will also be able to give you information on the Ironman tires that Dollytrolley is referring to. Ironman is Hercules' third-tier brand, along with Dynatrac, their mid-tier brand. Their dealers typically have access to all three brands.

rpsinc Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 I have Hercules 14 ply Load Range G on my 5er and I am happy with them so far. Quote Marcel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hewhoknowslittle Posted June 18, 2020 Report Share Posted June 18, 2020 I run the Hercules 14 ply on all my equipment trailers, a total as of today 18, I don't even run a spare anymore. As the people that was in Quartzsite this winter as I showed up with my dump trailer with the Jeep and the Zero laydown carry style bike with me and without a spare. I think that says it all.

jenandjon Posted June 23, 2020 Report Share Posted June 23, 2020 Ive run all kinds of tires in my time on the road. I have never heard of zenna,. Just don't get Duraturn tires. Lots of farmers here run them so I decided to try them. Nice and cheap but they are pain to change.
