Our take

The Steelpro MS597S by Milestar is a budget-friendly option for truck owners who primarily drive on highways and are looking for a cost-effective tire. While it offers decent handling and dry grip with scores of 7.5, its wet grip score of 5 trails the category average, suggesting caution in wet conditions.

In the highway all-season truck category, treadlife, comfort, and noise are key considerations. The MS597S meets the average for comfort and noise but falls short on treadlife with a 40,000-mile warranty, compared to a category average of over 61,000 miles. This could result in more frequent replacements, impacting the long-term value.

When compared to competitors like the Firestone Destination LE3 and Hankook Dynapro HT RH12, the MS597S is positioned as a more affordable option but with trade-offs in wet grip and treadwear warranty. If you prioritize wet performance or need a tire with a higher speed rating, you might want to consider alternatives.

Ultimately, this tire suits budget-conscious drivers who don't frequently encounter wet conditions and are willing to trade off some longevity for upfront savings.

Pros

  • Handling and dry grip scores of 7.5 align closely with category expectations, providing reliable on-road performance.
  • Comfort and noise levels are on par with category averages, making for a reasonably smooth and quiet ride.
  • 40,000-mile treadwear warranty offers some assurance, though it falls short of the category average.

Cons

  • Wet grip performance is subpar, which could be a safety concern in areas with frequent rainfall.
  • Wet grip score of 5 is below the category average of 6.1, which could be a concern in rainy conditions.
  • The treadwear warranty of 40,000 miles is significantly lower than the category average of 61,048 miles, affecting long-term cost efficiency.
  • Speed rating of R limits high-speed capability compared to competitors like the Firestone Destination LE3, which may offer higher speed ratings.
