This is why I tell people to drive normally unless they know what they are doing, or not drive at all unless they know what they are doing.
My current 50,000 mile rated tires have 50,000 miles on them and are doing fine, dead even wear with 50psi for their whole life, higher then side wall recommended but I keep an eye on them, inspect them when I rotate them and would blame no one if something went wrong with them.
my clutch and Tranny only lasted 230,000 miles before the main bearing went out and wore the clutch out, the main bearing went out because the owner before me drove the car for 6+ years without changing the tranny fluid (every other year is recommended).
I think that pulling a trailer or having a car full of people is going to cause more wear on my car then anything else and if I'm not using it in a way that fills it up with stuff or people then why am I driving it?
