Thank you! I'm glad they are off and very thankful they didn't come apart while I was on the highway.

That sounds about right. All of my worn tires were around 10% or less tread depth on the outside edges, hence the lower weight.

If I had a more time to get tires, I was going to pull the trigger on a set of 145/80R14 Bridgestone B381s from Europe. I would have loved to have seen how well they would compare to Re92s on the Insight
