I haven't noticed it for the first couple of times, now I'm using it every morning to check on any updates. I'm on a rattling slow dial-up link in Kentucky and it's rather baffling to sit there and wait for such a long time 'til the page loads... but hey, I just found your rss page and added it to the Google Reader and there you are... I'm always up-to-date! Well pal, keep up the good work and make that rss button a little bigger so that other people can enjoy that as well :-P That rss option on your blog here is brilliant, you should tell more folks about it in your upcoming post.

Barring that, you should at least have matched pairs on each axle. As a tire industry professional I really can't condone having mismatched tires on the same axle. There are several reasons for this. Tires of different brands/models will wear at different rates. Tires of different brands/models will not have the same ride, handling and traction characteristics which can make them less predictable in an emergency situation than matched tires. Mismatched tires on the rear in bad weather can cause snap oversteer if one tire (due to reasons cited above) suddenly looses traction. Mismatched tires on the front axle can cause the vehicle to drift or pull to one side. Mismatchted tires can make proper care - rotations, alignments - difficult if not impossible to perform. ...and a bunch more but you get the idea.
