I am sure you are right Frank alternators don't spin bearings by doing the speed limit either (same car) That New York Northway is pretty quiet when you head up to Lake George in the fall. I learned to slow down after that tire issue years back it helped me grow up, it was one of the worst experiences I ever had in a car. I have seen many treads laying on the side of the road from tractor trailers, never thought I have one coming off of a tire on a 1991 Chevy Lumina. I blamed the psi of the tire but I know the other factors helped it on its way.
