[QUOTE="Jimmy Lavoie, post: 873055, member: 65952"] Same here. Just replaced my Fortera's with a new set at 35,000 miles. They still had another 5k at least on them but I'm taking a long road trip next week and I wanted new rubber for the trip. I am known however; to drive like an old lady and don't rotate them as often as I should. I ordered these new tires (same as the OEMs - Goodyear Fortera HL 235-70-16) from SAMS Club. They balance and rotate every 6k miles while I'm spending money in there store so I figured I can get 40 - 50K on these - Minimum. I truly believe it's all about the driving habits - and not just the obvious - spinning, hard truning and so on... it has a lot to do with city vs highway driving. You can get 20k more with lots of highway driving any day of the week. I do 80-85% city driving (like an old lady). But - when I drive highway, it's usually a long trip - like in the next few weeks - I figure I'll be driving 3-4k miles. LOVE MY FORTERA's! [/QUOTE]
