[QUOTE=R.Diesel;4150247]I read it as a longevity vs price thing. Maybe he can clarify.

I just bought an early 2000’s Camry I4 for $2000. It had a set of brand new Michelins on it. They were probably equal to 25% of the purchase price of the entire car. People spend $120-140 per tire When they can get adequate performance for $50. It really makes no sense. Same goes for uber expensive oils.
true, I do use sync atf, it does not boil like the old kinds.
I run poly gycol anti freeze at 100% no water
But I won't buy communist china made michelins
