You know, i didn't even read his responce 100% correctly. I read it as me being wrong about the ford and then a statistic thrown in. (remeber, 85% of statistics thrown out there to prove a point, are made up on the spot)
I did not realize he was saying that everything I said was bad advice.
Thank you longhair and cableguy...2 mechanics who know whats up....unlike the Engineers who always THINK they are right (click on his profile), but in reality, just have problems with over thinking things.
AAA is insurance, they don't test tires.
NHTSA comes up with rediculousely low speeds in off ramps and other stupid 'safety' items...they don't spend any money on testing tires.
Without getting cockey, I have been involved in (personal) tire testing per the advice of three of the biggest (US) tire makers, and a few of the Indy pit crews...again...I'll listen to what has been proven, not just what has been recomended.
