Yeah, you may be right, Jerry, but I'm sure that I got a bad tire in my first pair and the guy at Coker said that mine was the first problem he'd ever had on their Firestone F560's, and he's sold hundreds of them. I know people who are getting good life out of them on street applications, but you can be sure I will be aware of the life on this pair. The price delta is $89/tire, and the Firestone's "look" better to my eye. That said, I could be running Michelin's next year, or moving to a taller tire for more selection
