You are exactly right, it came with the Bridgestone's. I probably got more
miles because mine were completely bald, they looked like racing slicks on
the back.

They were so far gone that I just took what they had in stock without any
research. Goodyear said that they were good tires for what I needed. They
are TOYO's Proxes FZ4 All Season High Performance tire. Any comments on
these? Also, what tire pressure do you recommend?

Thanks,
JohnnyA
