Assuming proper inflation, rotation and non-abusive (mostly) driving on paved roads, about how long is the tread life on the Firestone Firehawk SZ50 for a 91 9KT ? If the mileage shown on the tire purchase paperwork that I got from the previous owner is correct, my tires only have about 22K. The edges look a bit worn but the center grooves still look pretty good. I know that "performance" tires don't last as long, but 22K sure seems short. The mech. says maybe time to replace b/c of impending bad weather. I think I'll get snows instead as these tires don't do well in the snow anyway. On the snows, I've reviewed comments here on best brands, prices, etc. which has been helpful. One question though: would it be better to go down to a 15" on the snows so there's more clearance in the wheel well ? Thanks.
