Yup - which means that my driving habits require me to have a tire that
can give me TRACTION... not slippage. I seriously doubt that D.C
specfically has Badyear Manglers built to different specs than alllll
the other Badyear Mangler tires that are manufactured. My unscientific,
uninformed, non-insider opinion would be that they took the lowest bid
when selecting Goodyear Wrangler tires for their rolling stock.
