Wow, never seen a truck before with 106 tyres !! I estimate about £15,000 for a new set. And I grumble about replacing a motorike tyre once a year.

I make that 96 wheels on the trailer and 12 on the tractor-unit making a total of 108.

I wouldn't like the job of blowing up the extra two with a footpump :blink:
