    IMPORTANT INFORMATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Monitor your tire wear carefully. My rears are wearing at half the rate as the fronts, maybe even less than half. The only reason for that is rear axle alignment and inflation pressure.

    IF YOUR CAR IS WEARING REAR TIRES RAPIDLY, YOU NEED TO GET THE REAR AXLE ALIGNMENT CORRECTED TO ELIMINATE THE EXCESSIVE REAR TIRE WEAR.

    Changing rear tires to wider more grippy tires will reduce the fuel mileage even more than the original Ensaves. I read a bout rediculously rapid rear tire wear, WHICH WILL NOT BE CORRECTED BY REPLACING THE TIRES.
