I wanna endorse almost everything redpoint5 says above. As usual, lots of good points from redpoint5 and others here. But if I understand his post correctl, he suggests LRR tires wear more quickly. It's not true that LRR tires are *necessarily* gonna wearout faster. Always check the wear ratings (and stay skeptical of them, too). My Michelin Defenders LRRs have an amazing rating, longer than most other tires, period. And actual driving experience over tens of thousands of miles confirms they will last and last... Just two cents from a driver with a wrench and some time behind the wheel.

I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
