But not for 30-40K miles.

P.S. Not to worry, I'd get 80 minutes of run time on my Kumhos. Lets see, 80
minutes @ 29 MPH (Dave's 4-14 GPS/guess at 29 mph average) results in about
40 miles of driving. Think the belts will stay put EVEN on Firestone 500s
(the original steel-belted tread separation champ that led to the
changing-rotational-direction "intellegence".
After the recent Firestone/Explorer fiasco, you don't spose Firestone was
"funning" us about that rotation excuse back in the 70s, do you?
