Years ago, I was told by Goodyear that the life of a tire was dependent
upon where the car was driven. He gave me a reprint of an article that
showed the roadbed (ie concrete or asphalt) played a major role, but also
the asphalt in different states played an even larger role. Supposedly the
filler used in different areas were different and some were substantially
more abrasive than other areas.

Has anyone else heard of this. I tried to Goggle up the info, but was
unsuccessful.

Rubber roads and concrete tires. That's the solution.
