But I daily my 1LE and my wife and kids are passengers in the car every single day, so I change them early.

In other words, quite literally, your mileage may vary.


P.S. it's "camber" not "Cambridge" and "alignment" not "aliment".
I thought the speed rating had everything to do, but I will do research more on this. Coming from LT tires, there is not that much to worry about.
Thanks for catching those missed used words.
