Tires on MY06
to the original tires on my '06. I now have reached the 10k mark with very, very little wear to the entire set. When I owned the '01, I would have had to order replacements by now. I'm totally amazed at the difference and probably will get another 10k out of the rears and more on the front. I'm very, very pleased.

Val. Big change from your first S.
We got almost 17K on our original rears. We replaced all four around 32K
You've put 10K on your baby in just over a year? You go girl!

Ah, she's just learned how to drive without so much oversteer. HPH
Edit: The mountaineer is in the body shop for repairs and several parts are still on order. It'll be another week or two before Valentine2 comes home. I really miss it. I loved driving it to the grocery store and parking beside all the other mommies and grannies in suvs.

They are different tires, but I can't tell you any more than that. Hope the back heals quickly. It's no fun to not feel good when driving your baby. Driving the S is supposed to make you feel good.
We had a little drive yesterday with a couple New England guys. One has a bad back requiring some surgery soon, and he's hardly driven his S at all.

I understand you back problems perfectly. Mine usually "goes out" about once a year, most recently about 2 weeks ago. It is finally getting back to where I can get out of chairs and bend over without much pain. When it's in bad shape it dosn't matter what vehicle I'm in, getting out can be a real pain. Thankfully over the past couple days my back has been recoving by leaps and bounds and I'm finally getting back to normal. Wishing you a speedy recovery Val. I did notice during this recent bout that driving the S was easier than driving my other vehicles, maybe the seat offers more support...it was just the exits that were the worst.

I got a little over 25k miles on my original tires and probably could've safely gone another thousand or two. I not sure how I did it, maybe it's because I'm such a slow and cautious driver.
