    Tires are a biz expense. Just like fuel and oil are. I adjust my rate to make a profit. You want it? I will bring it to you. X For so many miles. Don't like it? Go lower and see what you get. I've had fun with this for years. I eat popcorn watching "shipping wars" Bless there hearts, they try hard.

    Correct. No matter the tire. As a tire wears down, it gets lower rolling resistance.

    You are going to be in a pickle if that 65 mpg limit on trucks ever gets mandated.

    There will still be "outlaws" that will run fast. Hell the HOS rules are mandated and look at how many drivers on this forum alone openly admit to breaking them regularly.
