Not sure about the improvement on the newer 726ela but I would immagine it is not much of an improvement considering that the deeper tread depth is the culprit.

Those 726's are one of the least fuel efficient tire on the market.

ALSO... ANY truck newer than 2010 ... must have installed eco-friendly tires on it to enter the communist state fo california... otherwise it is an $800/fine. The 713's qualify... the 726's do not.

The 726el is bad, but the 726ela is a different tire with a MUCH better rating. Though you're right, not listed as carb complient. Not that it matters for my operation.

I'm willing to go with the 713's, if they are a good choice. Just didn't know anything about them as they've only been on the market since early 2020 and never heard anyone mention them.
