Sorry to hear that. But hopefully with the new head you have a long run of no issues.

OEM tires are generally junk, even when brand name. I believe they're built to different (lower) specs as far as tread life.

I know certain OEM tires are crap right out of the factory and won't last 60K miles. I guess I lucked out with my set of Michelin LTX A/S's that came on my Sprinter cause I got around 150K out of them and they had between 5&6/32 worth of tread left. Take care of a quality tire and they will last for a while. Like the saying goes you get what you pay for.



Currently sitting #2 out of 3 in Nashville.

Hard to say, history on here doesn't go back that far to look at them all. Probably my first or the one that I had to admit OVM was here, LMAO.

Well, seeing as I had some time, and access to the archives :) I went back and looked! John, your first post was introducing yourself on September 25, 2009! As they say, 'the rest is history'!:cool:
