Oops, yes 52. Still down to 47. Well, Looks like I'll dump the toyos

This is the last summer for my oems, all of which are almost at the wear
bars after 30K. I'll replace them next spring when the snow tires come
off. Hopefully by then the price of gas will have boosted demand for lrr
tires so I'll have a few choices.

Wow. I just checked the tires on mine. Better than 1/4" left at 35600
miles and being in LA, they're on year round. How come yours are
wearing out considerably faster? BTW 51 MPG for all 35000 miles.

Road surface roughness? Concrete v. asphalt? Twistiness? Driving
style? List goes on...

Our mileage is about the same. I have to think a major wear factor is
tractionized (for ice/snow) concrete and I have a lot of miles on that.
When you transition from smooth concrete to tractionized concrete the noise
level doubles. Also, about 10% of my miles are on gravel.
