14K miles on a low price tire make me wonder ... ya got any tips for extended tire life ?
I'm getting Shinko 712's front and rear... (not to claim they're the best,... but they're cheap enough, perform well, and I like the look)...
Not sure about long life,.. but, I tend to neglect tire pressure. Pressures often dropping to 15 or 20lbs before I fill back up to 33 or so.
A possible theory is,... the varying of the pressure, wears more of the tire surface, rather than consistently running in the same strip.
A low tire has a wider contact patch... (it hurts your mpg's a bit, but mpg is so good, it really don't matter)...
Just a theory,... not saying it's good practice...
Here's a better pic of whole tire...
(I was pretty neglectful)...
