Oh yeah, I think you told that story before. On the way to work right? These tires had lots of tread left too, no cracks/rot on the sidewalls but inbetween the tread was another story and that's where it let go. Tire didn't blow out which is cool as it saved the wheel but the tread is what ended up slapping stuff silly. Glad it didn't bust the fender liner or worse. I'll get a pic of that rascal later Still has shiny tire jizz on it lol. Certainly forcing my hand and made me go even slower but ya know, I think whenever we plan to drive long distance like that again, we're going to go slow like that. So much easier to just set the cruise and let the hurried folks go around us without having to constantly modulate brake & gas, plus enjoy the extended range benefits. Engine seemed so happy at that point.
Ashley was the one who wanted to stop lol, she did not want to be on the side of the road again so I stopped. We were amongst civilization again so gas stations were everywhere, I really wanted to push it lol. Should note it was Chevron gas, and that it looked much clearer in the filler neck than the yellowish Shell we got the whole way down and up. Maybe it had less or no Ethanol in it but the pump said it could contain up to 10% like all the other stations. I also ran BG44 fuel infector cleaner & Restore engine treatment. Last year I consumed almost 5qts of 5W-30 to get there and back and this year I consumed maybe half a quart! I also had the oil changed down in Florida as it was due so if I hadn't done that I might've consumed a bit more oil. But still, I think that stuff does work! Certainly worth the $8-10 I spent on it.
