Hi Marc,
You got it exactly right - it's about 75% or so highway in a mild PA
climate. As far as braking - I use the "B" mode whenever possible instead.
About the brand - laugh all you want but it was for the first time today I
cared to look at the brand of the tire (after owning the car for 14
months). And I do check and correct pressure every two months of just
about and so I must have seen it, just never registered in the brain :-)
So, yes, mine are Goodyear Integrity tires, seem like a solid product to
me now.
Thanks again,
D~
