[QUOTE="EddieS'04, post: 1008512, member: 61136"] How many years and how much tread was left @ 100k? If you are a soft driver might have been ok for you. If not if you were close to the wear bars and about 4yrs. They may have actualy, been past there life. After 3yrs tires get what they call friction hardness, from rotataing on hot pavement. Durometer test have prooven this to be true. That it the point to where many think they are getting great milage. The truth is the tire rubber is hard and true traction is lost, but milage can go up, at about 3/4wear. For me I dont push my tires that far. I wont buy off the wall no name or store brands. I will stand by my thoughts on any tire that charges extra for the name. This is not a put down. Im older than many on this board. Many cars, 4 at a time, many performance also. Probably been thru more brands and types of tires than most. I dont have a favorite though. Peace out..... [/QUOTE]
