I agree on all counts. One reason I got away from buying the $100+
tires is that, while they have a very high mileage rating, I drive
relatively little, probably around 5,000 miles per year, and the tires
don't wear out, they just get old and brittle. I just replaced a set
that had nearly new tread, but were so hard that they were like riding
on wooden wheels.
