Truck Tyre Trial Results! Bridgestone v Michelin? 55,000 Mile Test

Last year i changed the Bridgestone tyres on the SCANIA S 580 to Michelin. I've now clocked up around 88,000kms / 55,000 miles on each set of tyres, so which have worn the best? Let's find out...

[@tyrereviews]

I approve of this 😁 an area of tyres i'll never get to test!

[@CMDRSweeper]

Never say never! You may find yourself thrown into doing hotlaps in a truck at some point :D

[@stagman4611]

I always put Michelin’s on my cars etc. And where I work you constantly see cheap tyres going on the trucks that come in for service and need tyres. As per you get what you pay for 👍🏼👍🏼

[@ewalsh3871]

Another great informative video. Thank you Stavross969 👍👍

[@johanbos160]

Nice video stavros with nice results about the tires 👍👍

[@thebigpicture-elpanorama]

Great stuff Stavros! I just discovered your channel, and it is very watchable.

[@profdanny3159]

Great video as always 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Cheeeeeerrrrs!!!!!!

[@djmcmalachymclaughlin2057]

👍🏻👍🏻 hard to beat the Michelin tyres great review Stavros

[@GroggRhine]

Ah great, I was getting so "tyred" waiting for the results. Let's get a "grip" of the differences.

[@theirishmorph4144]

You'd want to be careful with all them puns. You should 'thread' carefully. No pressure

[@Foxee1000]

Feic lad you were up early this morning 😂

[@bettyswollocks7683]

Well bye the look of it Stavros is going to have a Goodyear

[@georgeratcliffe7752]

I agree, it was a "Wheely" good video!

[@vid4944]

a logger near me just recently bought a R660 xt forestry truck, i've seen it pulling and its crazy

[@themangix357]

Michelin's factory, I'm excited to see that. 🙂

[@Yourweakminds]

Love this channel.

[@patodwyer721]

Nice one Stavros

[@erinleonard5269]

Great video 👍👍 Idea for a video . Wear and tear for different makes and years in lynch flint . Parts service costs That would be a great video easy for my to say it you'll be months doing it 👍👍

[@Foxee1000]

Ending the video with a Who Has The Best Horn competition...😂😂 CHEERS..... 😂 G'wan Stavros

[@semiretired6033]

I really love European trucks and especially those Scanias. Would love to drive one.

[@theolderigetthewrongbitget4746]

I drove a brand new Volvo coach that came with Bridgestone, from day 1 I was on at the boss to change to the Michelin that was normal on all the other Volvos, as the ride was so hard.

[@joedaly346]

LIKE THE VOLVO JACKET 😀😀😀👍👍

[@nathanclough9125]

Can't get a better tyre than a Michelin 👍

[@rorydevlin5204]

hope to see the factory tour that would be a great video 👍😎

[@sg403]

That Effer is some f’er of a tractor unit.

[@frankieloughran6964]

Hi you never spoke about the difference in cost , and how meny more kilometres do you expect to justify the cost, good luck

[@allanmacbadger5692]

Surely you have to include the cost of the tyres for a full test and evaluation

[@robertwalker1742]

I had some Firestone F2000 on drive axle of artic tipper got over 100k and that includes off road amazing if you can locate, give them a go.

[@jamestamu83]

Tires that wear faster often have a softer tread which can yield better traction in wet conditions. Tire wear is just one measure of overall performance. Comfort, vibration level, traction, braking performance all need to be considered. I use Michelin on my personal auto but I know that Bridgestone makes a great tire also. Interesting study, but certainly not a comprehensive comparison. I like that the Michelin representative acknowledged that this was just one result on just your vehicle. Shows he is objective and a professional.

[@davidthiga2184]

Nice videos stavros❤️❤️❤️.........can you get a Mitsubishi truck,isuzu and fuso to do a full tour on them even if they are rigids

[@stu111able]

Great video,just curious as to what happens the bridgestone tyres that came off the truck and have gd tread left,? Are they used for trailer tyres or spares ?maybe

[@TruckerMRB]

Enjoyed the video chap..What was the cost difference in the tyres?..I forgot what the difference was...

[@ctc07]

Huge trucks luv it!

[@Horizon301.]

Depends on the tyre. Continental and Michelin sport contact and sport pilots for example barely last 15k miles on a car meanwhile they Primacy can easily make it to 20k. Pirelli cinturato or Bridgestone Turanza seem to be the only decent ones for longevity

[@TWJW]

I had continentals on my car when car came new in 2018 was lucky if I got 20k kms out of them replaced them with General Altimax tyres after being recommended to by the tyre place car now on 64k and still life left in the tyres hopefully will see the car out to July when the new one hopefully arrives to replace it

[@johnbell6854]

Hi Stavros I fitted them tyres to my r730 we found them very noisy and caused a roughness through the truck

[@kekekekdkzixieje]

You are the best

[@daveswarbrick5576]

One thing i'd have like to have seen, how do both brands perform wet and dry under heavy braking ? does one trade mileage for grip?

[@shaun_t2726]

Hi m8 just wondering what is a good time to get at dubshed this year to see the cars coming in, hope to see you there.

[@rrocketman]

Μπράβο φίλε 👍

[@patdunne9962]

Hi Stravros are you telling us that ye getting a new Volvo truck with the jacket your wearing😁,any chance you can give me the old Bridgestone tyres for my truck , 🙏

[@IRLangmaid25]

What were you seeing in terms of fuel consumption between the two tyres.

[@actrosdinhotruckboy3673]

Can you get a Mercedes Axor next video I would love it thank you for your entertainment

[@richieaprile3782]

@6.45 yeah….that’s progress buy a whole headlamp unit, a H4 glass from a real Scania can be changed separately for under 20 euro.

[@patrickfenton3173]

Drop a Michelin man into Sheils Limerick for Stavropol 👍

[@rohangaming642]

3:21 I think it's 6×4 with tandem lift just guessing from tyre pattern of tag axle

[@EduardSLVRU]

It all depends of what configuration has been ordered. Double wheels might be for a better grip and weight distribution. Since this is a XT chassis which is built for a construction and off road use. Then definitely it might be 6x4.

[@Winchester1979]

The hub on the tag axle is different from the drive axle, so it's probably not a driven axle but a 6x2. I think double-wheel tag axles are for trucks where the extra axle is going to be more than just a rules dodge (see: UK-style mini-midlifts where the midlift mostly exists to allow an extra three tons on the trailer).

[@GsCConcrete123]

you can send a old good tyre back and Michelin will send it back new. well back in the 1980,s they did my dad worked for Michelin in the UK.

[@leroyavila3088]

I would like to see those trucks in the USA 🇺🇸 these big trucks are like dinosaurs 🦕 on safety 🤔 and down the road 🤭

[@bettyswollocks7683]

Stavros I can fart louder than that horn💨😂

[@KahelGaming]

I WANT TO BE A TRUCK DRIVER TOO SIR♥️🇵🇭 LOVE FROM PH

[@haithamsalum8113]

hi stavros, Haitham here from East Africa, sorry could you please help and do a review on what is really the difference between the scanias P,G, and R series engine wise, are the engines mechanically different or is it just the cab difference that we know? thanks.

[@mehmeterdemercin6132]

I am not a truck driver but I can give you the info about what I have seen and heard from my country. Normally G series has different engines than R but I heard you can order them with specific R series engines. G series are more simpler and probably better suited to use in developing markets and in places like construction and military where you need simplicity and toughness over technology. In Turkey, we both had R and G series, mostly G420 was very popular. (I am living in another country and not back since 2019) I know G series are still produced. In my country we preferred G series due to being able to use lower quality diesel and cheaper parts and maintenance costs. R series used to be the luxury but nowadays they have S series. And P series are lower cabs, generally I see them in 360 370hp. P is used as truck chassis and tractors. I have seen P series in Thailand mostly. Generally 6x2 with tag axle. Not much but generally pulling fuel tankers. Normal stuff are Hino and UD trucks. Also some chinese. Places near EU more likely to use R series and G series. P series doesn’t have V8 options, only straight 6 cylinders. And I heard G and P series share same drivetrains. I also think G series are not available with V8. They say up to 500hp. And I saw that Scania also includes 410hp petrol(gasoline) powered truck, probably for use LPG or LNG. I saw trucks in Thailand run on LPG and CNG. So we have L series, I never seen them maybe it is for Urban use only, P series, also urban but maybe you can use as a Truck in truck chassis configuration as a box truck or as tractor for also urban and cheaper and smaller alternatives to others. We have G series made for more tough situations, built simpler with cost and repair in mind, R series, made for comfort, and S for being flagship. R and S series are flagship of Scania.

[@metalsecrecy]

What about the fuel mileage? Vibrations? And driving comfort from each brand?

[@lancecluster]

All good questions, Michelin's are a harder compound, but do they actually save money over the long run.

[@jimmarkey2384]

Can the Bridgestone not be recut and remixed ?

[@Rudrasingh-pv5pf]

Ascenso tyres are best tyres for all type vehicles.

[@fonxpi9748]

Michelin top👍

[@superworld4537]

Hello sir please show me how to drive this truck??🙏🙏

[@ahmadharianto5185]

👍👍👍 mantulll👍👍👍

[@allanwinter4991]

The fitter over torqued the wheel nut in the video.

[@wotnoturbo]

Saw that too

[@ahmadharianto5185]

VDL 👍👍👍

[@emk4086]

Always found Michelin a bit soft

[@yevheniimasenko2415]

What is the original tire height?

[@zleepyINC]

their horn sounded better :p

[@entity_dragons2013]

Silly question, but why do some units have the tag Axel at the rear.? Thanks

[@EduardSLVRU]

Tag axle is for extra weight support. On some trucks a tag axle drops down automatically when drive axle get up to the certain weight. Also tag axle is better than fixed axle, in this case when truck is unloaded or with a minimum weight. The tag axle lifts up, it helps to prevent drive wheels from over spin. Some truck have tag axle as a third and some as a middle. When tag axle at the back, then truck does more sharp turns because of shorter wheelbase. In my opinion, I like when tag axle at the back than in the middle. Also some trucks have tag axle as a steer axle, this is an additional benefit for turning when axle is down and all these features costs a lot of money.

[@entity_dragons2013]

@@EduardSLVRU thanks for your explanation much appreciated 👍

[@Winchester1979]

In many cases it's a legal requirement because of how much the cargo being hauled weighs. Most countries only allow you to put so much weight on an axle, in order to not damage the road. But if you're not hauling that much (for example, if you've got an empty trailer that you're driving back to refill), having the axles on the ground just costs extra money and fuel, so a system for raising the unnecessary axle off the ground was invented.

[@kheriwalafilms1840]

I love scania because I am driving a scania multi axle bus

[@christian-81]

What does that come to dollar per millimeter?

[@Focusman217]

🤣🤣🤣🤣 war of horns🎺🎺🎺🎺

[@wil6043]

Incomplete test. Were the tires used under same weather, road and cargo ?? Were the tires used in the same season ? I think this is compairing apples and peers.

[@povexpertdrive779]

Please your scania truck price

Michelin win all day long. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
