This really jumped out at me!! Tires only lasted 24k....wow.
Remember in upstate New York, winter roadways can be dangerous. Yes, tires were six years and with 4-5/32nds, thats not much. Now, I will go 3 seasons on a chrome rim and touring tire and the winter months with steel rims and a winter tread tire.
Original tires lasted about 6 years. Even if the tread is still thick, they're not to be trusted any more. The new low CFC manufacturing processes produce a great tire but one with only a 6 year life time, less if mostly parked in a hot parking lot and not driven.
