How is the tire wear for everyone? This being a little heaver and more agressive will wear tire faster I think...

We aren't too concerned with the MPGs. My wife has a Jeep now and is getting about 16-17 MPGs now...
My 4.8is had 22,000 miles when I sold it, the fronts basically still looked new and the rears were starting to wear. Probably would've got around 30K for the rears. I always drive easy.

Onlinetires.com seemed to have the best price for the factory Michelin Diamaris at around $318-339 (fronts-rears) a piece. Sometimes they offer free shipping or 1/2 off shipping.

My life time mileage was 17.9 with 70% or more city driving. The computer seemed to be accurate when checked manually.

Loved everything about our 4.8is.
