I'm talking about a '55 Chevy 2 door, 210 series wagon that I had on the road between 1986 and 1990. It had radial tires on all four corners (wider than factory on the rear) and traction/slapper bars on the rear. In other words I had to try if I wanted to get them to really spin.

Whether you look at it as highway miles -vs- back road miles, or in the sense of the RPM's the engine turned under normal conditions, it all eventually comes down to the way things are geared. It's a given that the lower the RPMs an engine runs the longer it will ultimately last.
