Does EFI cleaning helps with mileage?

IIRC, both the OEMs and the Wal-Mart set were 60,000 mile tires. One of those blew a few miles south of Carlisle, PA. I was able to get to (and around) Carlisle re a can of sealant I had with me. I shopped all around Carlisle and got a great deal on my first set of Firestone FR710s (a 65,000 mile tire). That set lasted me 85,009 miles (liked them a lot). I then (last year) ordered a new set of FR710s at my local Firestone dealer and went in for the install on the designated day. I walked out to my car after the install, and the wrong tires were on the car! I pointed this out and was told they forgot to do my order so they upgraded me for free to the Affinity Touring model . I drove on those for I think a couple thousand miles and did not like them. I went back and made them put new FR710s on. I recently posted that I just rotated those at about 15k miles, but it must have been a lower number (I forgot to take the brief time with the Affinity Touring into account). I like this set of FR710s pretty much as much as the previous set.

Wow, you've had really good luck with tires.

I'm trying to find a set of tires for when my current tires (came with the rims, we basically new and some generic brand made in Japan) wear down. Looking for a balance of life and grip since I do like to take on/off ramps faster than the suggested speed (then again, it seems like everyone and their mother takes on/off ramps way faster than the suggested speed).

Plus, I'd feel like I'll be cheating on my regular vendor, whom I've been dealing with for 4-5 years. haha

Just as a heads up you can always purchase through anyone and then the person you purchase through can actually perform a dealer to dealer transfer for the credit I am all about folks being properly credited for things.

You are right though about the foam and its uses, but I digress...not to thread jack.
