 For instance, if I'm planning to sell a Vanagon in 3-6 months., would it
 not be stupid of me to install a set of tires with a 70,000 mile
 warranty?

I think you missed my point here. First, the subject was on fluids, like
anti-freeze, oil, etc, Second, if I were to buy your Vanagon, and I saw you
had just put El Cheapo tires from Pep Boys on it, I would factor replacement
tires into my offer. Now, if you told me you had just changed the oil with K
Marts best, I'd simply walk away.       Jeff S.
