I don't consider myself a tire expert, however I'm very interested in what new, better quality, tires will be like when I finally replace the OEM Integritys. Honestly, I'm not that impressed with the Good Year Integrity. They seem pretty typical of factory tires. Good enough to keep you on the road for 30,000 miles, but not much beyond that.

I read in a forum once that the mileage hit with new tires is caused by the sharp, just molded, edges on the tires. And with a few thousand miles those edges get worn down and resistance reduces to a normal level.
