Why didn't you join us Casey?
I was still responsible for house sitting through the evening on Sunday. Believe me I wanted to!

Also my star specs are nearly pancake bald. I'd say they lasted about 5k maybe a bit more. Still amazing some are lastin 10k on those tires. I guess that's what separates the boys from the men, chicken stipes and all!

Need to save some cash for possibly changing my apartment in the next month so trying to delay purchasing tires.
Mine lasted 10k

I think it's got more to do with surface than anything.

That makes sense since I drive in cheese graters. Do you hypermile with high psi when just putting around?

I've been runnin mine at 36psi... I've seen some people get the over inflation wear just down the center by running too much in them. Wondering If I should just kick mine upr or not seeing as how my sides are more worn down than the centers. That's with mostly commmuting too!

Trial and error is what got me to that point.

The only commute I do is to sweethearts and back

44-46 cold? Isn't that extremely high?

It's what I ran at Skaggs, tires get a bit greasy but it adds to the fun

If nothing changes the mood of the drive then all is good, if something does then I'll be going slow anyway so what's the point.
