Re: Tire wear
My experience has been that Goodyears were garbage and lasted less than 20K
Pittsburgh miles but Michelins on the same vehicle went over 50K.
Interestingly, the Firestones that got recalled were like new at 25K when
they got recalled. The Goodrich tires on my 2003 Mountaineer (the other
tires were on a '99 Explorer) only last 25000 miles. I am approaching 50K
(on my second set) and will get Michelins this time, even though they are
much more expensive.
