Hey dudes, just letting people know I got 17,500 miles a D407 18 inch wheel, nitrogen filled. Love this tire.

You think the nitrogen was the reason. The free air I use has 78% nitrogen already in it.

The air we breathe is 78% nitrogen. And I'm not contributing 100% to that. Just stating what I've gotten out this tire for others to know.

That is good mileage out of that tire. None of mine have lasted near that long.

Every time I think about tires, that twinge in my gut tells me I'm only getting about 428' per tire.

Yep. It's not a bad tire at all.
