@darwinwoodka@mastodon.social @cohentheblue@ohai.social @evedazzle@mas.to @thevhswizard@retro.pizza Whoa! I thought my 2013 Yaris being on 87k was being treated gently.🤯 Ever since I started changing the tyres (on my bicycle 🤪) more regularly, I've dropped to about 600km driving per year.

@isol@mastodon.au @cohentheblue@ohai.social @evedazzle@mas.to @thevhswizard@retro.pizza Well we did cheat a bit, lived in a townhouse in a walkable area and access to a trolley line for a couple years. But I still try to drive as little as possible.

@isol@mastodon.au @darwinwoodka@mastodon.social @evedazzle@mas.to @thevhswizard@retro.pizza I bought tubeless ready slightly wider tires for my bike in hopes of improving suspension. Those should have stiffer side walls, allowing for lower tire pressure. From 37 mm to 40 mm. A gravel biker told me bottoming out rarely damages aluminum rims in practice, gotta do crazy stuff to do worse than dent them. Time to test. It has been bumpy riding hard packed gravel roads (basically asphalt with stones exposed on the surface), gonna compare.
