Well good point about the tires, but I check them weekly, and just checked
them on Friday before the hunting trip. The new sensor has only been on for
about 8,000 miles, if that. I just replaced the stock one for maintenance
reasons at aroung 100,000 miles. Wouldn't a bad oxygen sensor though show it
when I pull the fault codes?
