I have a very limited budget so the Yok's and the Duelers are beyond what I can spend (I know, safety first....). We don't drive the Trac too much lately with the gas prices, I drive the wifey's 96 Taurus just about everyday to work now since she has a Ceramics and Domestic Goddess Engineering degree (yes, she truely is a degreed engineer, but a stay-at-home mom). We have dramatically cut back on miles on the Trac from averaging 1500 per month to less than 500 average over the past 5 months. At this rate a 40K tire will last about 7 years. It is our long-distance driver still. It's just that at $2.30/gallon, it costs me nearly $5/day to drive back and forth to work in the Trac and about $3/day in the Taurus.</blockquote>
