I agree it's a very good advice.
I'm pretty picky when it comes to tires/brakes and maintenance on my daily drive. I read quite a bit before I bought my tires. I was worried about its weight and what kinda rolling resistance will affect my mpg lol and I want traction too. What tire is good for the money you spend. I highly recommend the ceramic brake pads. They're dust-free, less heat, last long, good for the rotors. I could get more than 80k pad life on the front from the ceramic brake pads and my front rotors are still good. Very cool.
In the recent Christmas trip to NYC and DC, I got a 42mpg on highway, even stuck in the city traffics mixed with highway I still got 37mpg, very happy. Drive a lil lower than speed limit, mix with hypermile drivings, lot of DFCO(deceleration fuel cut-off) techniques as well. Nice daily drive.
