Re: [OM] Jeepless in Seattle

[SwissPace]

I no longer do the mileage so I change tyres as the Germans do every 4 
years although I do let the summer tyres go a bit longer - a long cry 
from my UK driving days when I needed a set every 4 months (or 20'000 
miles) and I cringe to mention my honda CB 900 Mcycle which needed a new 
rear every 900 miles.
Cheers IanW
