How about the possibility that with more horsepower and torque these days,
tires may be getting a lot more stress??

Is it me or are tires not lasting as long as they did? I seem to
remember
getting more mileage (and more even wear) from Michelin, Goodyear ect. all
season radial tires in general on many types of sedan and station wagon
vehicles in the mid to late 1980 when this country was on a quality push.
My mechanic said the same thing, tires over the last 5 years or so are not
lasting as long. Not just on the MB I have but he say in general across
the
board. I have no scientific proof but... Your thoughts?
