Peter and all,

My experience with 356's concurs with Ken's. Edge wear that looks like
under inflation, even with pretty significant pressure (50-55). I had
everything aligned when I bought the tires and they have been rotated
regularly. Very hard ride on unpaved surfaces. The price was right, around
$50 each from Tire Rack, but I will get less that 25K miles on the set.  I
am going with Michelins this next time. We have a new Costco, hope their
deals are still as aggressive as reported here in the past.
