So, are you guys 'n' gals OK with this tread pattern? It is, of course, that of a BFGoodrich G-Force Comp 2 A/S Plus.
I am definitely NOT happy with that tread pattern. All curves should be turned the other way and there should be some angled cross lines to add some interest. |

If I do pop for the Goodriches, it goes without saying that I'll be special-ordering wide whitewalls.  |

All of my tires have tread, until they don't. Then I replace them. Don't know much about the tread, not being a tire engineer. But, I also don't live in Minnesota where it matters. |

I've been looking at tires too Bill. But since I'm not worried about how smooth the ride is I'll look for a good 70k miles set of All Weather.

Bill has two sets of tires, Winter All Weather and Summer Touring tires. Marty speaks truth. A couple of years ago, after switching every fall from summer to winter tires using the same factory rims, at a cost of about $100, I splurged on a set of custom wheels (Enkei brand) for my summer tires, saving 8 pounds of weight per wheel over the factory ones and paying only like $25 total to have all four tire/wheels removed and replaced. My car still has enough performance to where I really appreciate having high-performance summer tires/wheels and a winter tire/wheel package that really delivers traction on snow and ice (aided by AWD). My winter tires are pretty gnarly looking -- General Altimax Arctic, made in Amurica, as are the BFGoodies. Altimax:  |

They donated a pretty kick-butt piano to our local philharmonic. www.therepublic.com/2016/08/24/head_of_piano_maker_enkei_leader_to_attend_philharmonics_season_opener/ |

Some great news for a change. The new route evaluations came back today, and though I won't be paid for the full amount of Amazon that I carry for another year yet, my new evaluation gave me an $11,000 raise, and a route I can comfortably volunteer for overtime.
