Re: Why don't we get a decent mileage from our tires?
on average I have gotten about 16K out of the firestones... I called Coker one day and asked them what the average mileage would be out of the firestone/goodyears... and they said about 8-10 K, maybe..? They said because it is softer than the more modern tires. I do rotate mine every so often and tend to run a couple of pounds extra. Personally I prefer the Firestones. I think they steer well and seem to wear well... and I like the way they look best.
I guess I've gotten a pretty good track record out of them.. but like everyone else it would be nice to get a few more miles out of them. On the flip side tires do age and the older they are the less safe they are. I find Garfields the worst of the bunch. They steer as hard as the rubber on them which seems to be harder than most ( probably an age thing).
