NEW TIRE = 11000 miles 1 Year, 9 Months ago

we just had the stealer install a new metz 880, 160-80=16, got decent miles on the old one, mighta got another 1000 on it but didnt want to push it, but 3 years ago it was $230.00 installed so i figured bout the same, WRONG, i like to choked when he got finished ADDING, $303.00 , damn i am gonna drive even slower this go round !! Stretch the milage on this on for sure!! I did get 11000 miles on it , which is pretty good i think!!
