posting this question and reading the responses has me looking at the question from a slightly different perspective. Could i get two or even three more years out of the tires? Probably, maybe. But if i am going to have to replace them that soon anyway, might as well stay on the safe side and do it now. and again in another ten years.

And now back to the Mickey Thompson thread….

Yes. The tire store was surprised.

^ Impressive!
