welcome to the freaky family, and welcome to the utah fit family (if you want)
tires depend on the way they are driven, starting and stopping alot does them no good and here in utah with our extreme climate, (cold in the morning and hot as he!! in the afternoon) will also effect the tires, i'm not sure about the roads in kanab but our roads in the city (salt lake) are pretty bad, i sell tires all day long and the first thing i tell people is that the tire rating is an estimate and meant for perfect conditions, having your tires rotated everyother oil change will help them last longer,and if you buy cheap you get cheap <--- weird how that happens
buy bridgestones and keep them balanced and rotated, you'll get alot of miles out of them.
unless you track your car like we (keepitpg, myself, and blazeorangefittuner) did, hell keepitpg just replaced his 08 org. dunlops at 11,000 miles because of it, but the fun we had was worth wearing out two pair for me (both my sets of rims have falken tires, and both need replaced S O O N) the orange fit in the pic has my wheels on it off my crx
