Anyway I put on new tires at about 41K miles. And within a week there after I got my first speeding ticket in twelve years. Now I realize it was a speed trap. But I do my best to stay within 5mph of the posted speed limit depending on road conditions and traffic.

So anyway according to my speedometer as much as I can recall at the time I was doing roughly 50mph. And as far as I knew I was in a 60mph zone anyway. Highway 31 between Waco and I-20 going to Louisianna to gamble. About 115-ish out of Waco, 171 miles from where I live. But I got a ticket for going 58 in a 45 and a school zone to boot. Not that I ever saw a speed limit change or school zone sign in that area. Henderson County, Brownsboro Police Department. Some old lady that looked like a dude. Mustache and all.

When I first got my car, I would get passed like crazy going 65 in a 65mph zone. And according to every speed clock thing I've passed my speedometer always read 3-5 mph over what those road side devices told me I was doing on the original tires. I guess this is no longer the case with new tires. Apparently it now reads 5-10mph under my actual speed. Not that I've passed any road side devices to verify yet.

So I got a ticket for going 58 in a 45. I thought I was doing 50 in a 60 at the time. And apparently a school zone to boot at 9pm at night. I guess I'll just go 50+ miles out of my way to take I-35(E) to I-20E from now on. $12 in gas is cheaper than $200 in speeding tickets. So much for the environment.
