Michelin XDA Energy or Bridgestone M713 drives?

[SquareOne]

Thx for the info guys, this is what I was looking for. Like mentioned before, I'm sure I'll be fine either way, but when you're shelling out 5k on a set of drives it just feels a little better to have someone else's experience to help guide in a particular direction.

JimT, I also noticed that the M713's were a hair shorter. I'm assuming the M713 (M710 redesign) was an answer to the Michelin XDA Energy. Michelin seemed to be aiming directly at Bridgstone with those lol..... here's what the brochure states:

"An ultra-fuel-efficient, line haul, dual drive tire.
Saves your fleet $400 annually per truck in fuel by replacing the Bridgestone M710
Ecopia™ tire with the MICHELIN XDA ENERGY tire, when you pay $2.53 per gallon."

Obviously those ^^ savings ^^ would be negligible with a one truck operation, but you get the idea...
