Rebate offer valid through the end of 2015. *Average fuel savings per year, per truck, with Goodyear Fuel Max LHS 295/75R22.5 LR G & Fuel Max LHD G505D 295/75R22.5 LR G versus Michelin XZA3+ Evertread 275/80R22.5 LR G & X Line Energy D 275/80R22.5 LR G were $1,300; Bridgestone R283 Ecopia 295/75R22.5 LR G & Bridgestone M710 Ecopia 295/75R22.5 LR G were $560; Continental HSL2 EcoPlus 275/80R22.5 LR H & EcoPlus HD3 295/75R22.5 LR G were $560. Fuel savings based on the projected savings of a single Class 8 tractor-trailer with 6.50 miles per gallon, traveling 120,000 miles per year, diesel fuel at $4.00/gallon, and changing 10 tires on the tractor. Class 8 tractor-trailer fuel consumption was estimate using the U.S. EPA’s Greenhouse Gas Emission Model and ISO 28580 rolling resistance coefficient data. Actual results may vary depending on tire size, driving and road conditions, maintenance and operating conditions.
