Thanks Kurt,
That is pretty much what I got too out of the forums...
I considered a switch for one reason the availibility of the Bridgestone b381's.
In my area they are hard to find I called many tires stores I even called Firestone locations and no one seemed to stock them. I actually ended up buying them from
www.tirerack.com for $75 a peice, and it cost me another $16 to ship 2 tires. Most places were asking $100 per tire. I will have them shipped to a local shop and get them taken care of there.
THe next things is that I need to go through a breakin period from 500-1000 miles to regain the optimum fuel efficiancy.
Thanks,
Erik
