I do.  Delivering mail is VERY hard on tires and brakes.

My 60,000 mile tires might make it to 15,000, but I spent around $380 for the set, including road hazard (very nice to have with a mail vehicle.  I've already had 2 flats fixed under this warranty.  :-))

My truck got a set of tires last spring, $220 each for 4, but they still have over 60% tread left, even after 20,000 miles,  including towing a camper from Virginia to Daytona Beach back in February.

I got road hazard on my new tires too since we live in a constantly-under-construction area.  I understanding using your car daily like that, you would have to replace your tires more often.  But for someone like me, or others here, who commute to and from work only, we don't really have to maintain the car as much.

But do you have to replace them every year?  It sucks spending all of that money like that, but at least you don't have to pay that every year. 

No, but it still sucks spending that much on 4 rubbers.  :whistling:

There's a reason why patriotism is considered a conservative value. Watch a Tea Party rally and you'll see people proudly raising the American flag and showing pride in U.S. heroes such as Thomas Jefferson. Watch an OWS rally and you'll see people burning the American flag while showing pride in communist heroes such as Che Guevera. --Bob, from some news site

'Nevermind' was the best course of action to take. Thread was going to dive off a steel-belted cliff otherwise.   :lmao:
