I've disposed of 365 & 315 tires in Oklahoma City, something of a cross-roads for trucking. But almost no one uses these tires on 18 wheeler trucks. Seems the 315 is only used on garbage trucks and they're not tire critical. I believe that nobody but Newell & Prevost use the 365 tires.

So this summer, I got ZERO for my low mileage, 4 & 5 year old Michelin tires. As a result, with the rising price of tires and their short calendar life and the low miles we drive, my tire cost is roughly 25 cents per mile! That's roughly half my fuel cost. As the pirates say, Arrrgh.
