19.5s x245 x G647 12 ply Goodyears

I now have nearly 9000 miles on my Goodyear G647s and they are running very true and do not need rotating. This is a great set of tires. I have heard many stories about new 19.5s not running well for several thousand miles and would not run very well on the highway due to getting in tire grooves in the pavement. I have not experienced this. I think it is due to installing these tires on wheels that are too narrow for the tire. My wheels are 6.75"s wide and run the 245s very flat. I had been running all the tires at 70psi but I pumped up the front tires to 90psi several weeks ago and they are still running fine.
