Hello,

I'm not going to get into a pissing match over this, it's not worth
it. This is in reality a minor issue.
I just wanted to point out to those who read this list and are now
sweating over their passenger cars tires that I drove many many
thousands of miles on passenger car tires and did not have a problem.
I don't sweat crosswinds or big trucks passing me, I just drive. Just
like I've been doing for years.

I'd like to get some stock tires, maybe someday I'll have the money.
Until that time I'll get the best tires I can afford knowing that
tires with tread are a LOT better than worn out tires.

I think that's a bs answer, but that's my opinion.
