[Shop-talk] suv tires

[Shannah Miller]

Thank you, Ian, for commenting to the group.  I will
need tires at some point, and that's good to know.

That said, my car is the spare car of the family, and
has had the same tires since 2019.  How many years
can a set of tires go if they are just mostly used to
putt around town?  (My car has not quite 10,000 miles
on it.)

Thanks,
Shannah
