[Shotimes] The Bullet I Dodged Almost Got Me From Behind.....or....Man, Am I Gonna Get Yelled At!

[DAVE]

This is pretty interesting. I've had Michelin Tires on a truck brand new truck and brand new tires all 4 balder then hell in 12,000 miles. I had a set of Pilot's on another car 4 tires balder then hell in about 15,000 miles. Maybe this a regional thing. I'm in Michigan Rick is in Tenn. George got good mileage out of them in Cal. I've got a good friend in AZ and he can't get more then 12k out of a set of BFG's and I use BFG's pretty much on everything I own. and get good tire wear. I'll have to let you know how the Comp TA Touring HR4's I put on the 90 do. As for Firestones and Goodyears they can stick those right up.. well you get the idea.

what was on it when I bought it, they looked brand new (didn't find a
receipt though)....that was 13k ago and I'm gonna need a new set of
something pretty soon, might push it to 18 or 20k, but I doubt they will
make it.

The '93 I had was also running a Micheline Pilot, but I can't remember the
exact spec....the guy I sold it to is going to have to put tires on it soon,
that set might have 15k on them.

I can't remember what the other Micheline was I had, they were on something
I bought, right now I can't even remember what it was. I just remember
hating the tires....I think they were on a Taxicab I had a few years ago....
