I would think dropping your cruising speed from 75 to 65 would do more than anything you could bolt on to the car, but you already knew that, he he.

One think I'm curious about is the service life of one tire versus another. I have walmart cheapies (Uniroyal Tiger Paw touring), and have 80k on them, with seemingly plenty of tread left (although they are getting hard, and are a bit sketchy in the rain). I will be facing the tire purchase soon, and wonder if anyone can has had the new breed of LRR tires long enough to comment on longevity?
