tempering created, the drawback is that anything with shell temper can't be fired as hot (thus as hard) as grog, sand or grit tempered ceramics because fired too hot & the shell particles can slake (absorb moisture & expand), breaking the item. #ceramics #archaeology

More info please. Mean price of online items? Were the numbers of orders up, or just the prices paid? Thiel, Musk and their ilk buying outrageous items, or people like my mom buying for grandkids?

Hernandez gave tRump millions and millions. As have most of tRump's "pardonees".

“By the early afternoon, nearly 200 people had gathered outside the garage, chanting and yelling at the agents, who peered out from inside the garage.”

But overall, while they're quite pricey and don't have the best tread life, the fact that these are a "normal" all-season tire which can be left on all year but just so happen to be winter rated makes them an excellent choice and I am quite pleased

The car got out of this like it wasn't even there!

One other thing to mention about the Bolt I am comparing this to - I deliberately got skinnier-than-stock tires for that car. Made the wheel combo cheaper and also skinnier is usually better for snow and ice traction.

That could explain why it seems like it's got better stopping power.
