Your mate would be complaining about being stuck behind me.

Before that I got 115,000km out of a set of Goodyear transporters on the van with less than half the tread gone when the side walls perished. For some reason the guy at the tyre shop swore at me when I went back for more tyres a few years after the first set and saw the mileage I got (had the original docket in the glove box and I had even bought their old ute rims to put them on).

I am gob smacked that you monitor this stuff. I stick tyres on, wear tyres out and stick more tyres on. Don't know what they are (beyond being black rubbery round things that go on my wheels). Some people worry about the darnedest things.

Yes and I'm a cannie bugger. Managed to get in just before the price went up so got 5 fitted up at $220 a corner fitted and balanced. Two weeks later it was $280, not bad for good 32x11.5x15. They are very popular round here with 4x4 clubs and people typically get about 60,000km till they are down to 5mm before ditching them.
