After a full evaluation of all proposals, the bid was awarded to _ _ _ Tires & Service. They were not the low bid, however they bid the Trojan L-10 Tuff Haul. We have had a lot of experience with this tire and found the life to be well within the life range required, but the ride of these tires we feel is superior to the other tires quoted and worth the extra money.  Operator comfort is of extreme importance to us, and we feel the Trojan Tires provide the best option .Thanks for your participation.
