I put on a lot of miles and was going thru bridgestones every 10-11k. It got to be a ridiculous expense so I looked at other options. All the feedback I heard on RSA's was bad, but I got a good deal at tirerack and decided to try them anyway. 37,000 miles later, I haven't had any issues and the tread has barely changed. Get them balanced pretty often and they appear to do really well with the G. Maybe I was just lucky....who knows
