OK, I do a lot of driving on winding mountain roads (there's about ten
hairpin turns on the road up to my house - the kind of road designed for
sports cars, not pickups) but come on! 16k miles from a $100+ tire! I've
gotten MUCH better mileage from Generals (don't remember the model), and
the Yokohama Super Diggers I'm running now.
