Re: My 50K Mile Report
This theory does not apply to the Ford Escape Hybrid though...
Since they come with a specialty tire as original equipment on delivery.
I have every indication that these are 80,000 mile tires, maybe more.

It makes the ride softer and improves the "grip" feel making the car easier to sell.
