   What? At 15K miles? One rotate at most at that mileage, if that.

   Yokohama are reasonable. I use OEM, I avoid cheapies, ie. Chinese   
   rubbish. A lot of the cheapies actually last *longer* but that's because   
   the rubber isn't as flexible and the grip, as a direct consequence, is   
   terrible.

   Exaggerate, maybe, lie, not usually. As noted elsewhere, those mileage   
   tests aren't done under average highway conditions.
