Hey Bloomington... I'm over in Danville.Amazed to see only 1 set of tires after 86,000. Even a good set of tires usually don't last that long. I got my 3rd set at around 60,000 though the first set were the crappy Dunlops. They didn't do well with the camber of the rear wheels so I changed them really before I needed to at around 11,000. The second set lasted up to 60,000 and probably could have put another 10,000 or so on them. My current set will be changed next Summer but might stretch it to the Fall. Will be close to 100,000 then.Dave

Good deal. I'm about to go into my third set of tires and about to change the brakes for the first time, which is amazing. I use to change the grand ams brakes every year when it was a daily driver.
