My Goodyears were gone at 22,000 miles, I did do some boy racing around on ramps and off ramps. The Firehawk SZ's are awesome, no lurching, smoother ride. $1300 though!

I had a customer in the other day with a 98 and he had 47k on the EMT's. He said finally they were down to the tread bars and he could justify replacing them!! I guess he didn't go around too many corners too hard. :flag

If I were able to sell them, I guess this would be a viable option. I didn't think anyone would buy a used set in the Parts/Accessories section. But I guess they are like new and much cheaper than brand new. Hmmmmm.....

Snowman - I don't track my vehicle, and I drive pretty lame most of the time. I can't believe I'm abmitting this, but I've started trying to get the best Average MPG I can. :eek: :rolleyes: I do accept as many 'safe' street challenges as possible, but its always the slow cars that want to race. If I don't sell them, I guess I'll start lighting them up at lights more often. It seems somewhat silly though, when you're next to Granny Station-wagon. But life is short.... Thanks for everyone's input!
