wolfwings...but I have an easier time getting a Tire-gasm than any other sort of car-related "Ooh! Shiny!" response.
Needless to say, the engineer, artist, and driver in my head all are drooling over the new TripleTred tires from GoodYear.
I mean... 80,000 mile treadlife? =O.o= Most tires are around 35,000 right now. And some of those 35k tires cost more than these 80k tires. And these 80k tires are quite happy on snow and everything else.
Now if they made a version rated for higher speeds, everyone could use them. As it is, anyone needing V or other high-speed tires needs to fall back on the Eagle line of tires from GoodYear, or look to other tire companies.
But good grief... 80k miles for barely $115/tire. That's like... barely $1.43 per thousand miles. Most tires I've seen elsewhere are nearly double that cost per mile. *squee* And these even look neat. :-)
