Tire longevity from slow driving observed on Buffalo County truck
Ed Piskule, a Buffalo County farmer, shows his 17 year old truck tires that have logged an estimated 715000 miles. He credits slow driving and proper inflation for long life, noting winter use on a hay rack and summer use on the truck. He estimates about 75000 miles due to years of service, though he lacks a speedometer. He prefers rubber tires to steel wheels for cleanliness and less wear.
