You ain't kidding!

And the factory specs are so wide that even if the alignment is within them, it can still be way off.

I don't race or drive hard. I will be getting the street alignment next week. My question is. What tire will give me the most mileage, it can be a RF or non RF. I'm just wanting a high mileage tire.

Thanks for your help.
I got over twice the mileage out of Michelin PS2's as compared to oem goodyears on my 06 Z51 . Also better ride , traction and quieter .

I have Bridgestone tires on my Grand Sport. The tires have 23,000 miles on them with 6/32" of tread depth. I am very pleased with the Bridgestone tires, and would recommend them to anyone.
