Well, really the data I would want you to see would be statistical, meaning average and standard deviation, possibly also grouped by claimed riding style, location etc. The actual raw numbers probably don't matter as much as how the compare to one another. If one tire is averaging 6,000 miles and another 8,000, it is likely the 2nd one will also last longer for you. The fact that the numbers wind up being 15,000 and 22,000 for you isn't as important but will affect that average.

Java or Bust!

Okay, this is pretty important so that I can figure out if I spend next weekend actually creating this for the site. I am a java guy. I can probably finish this in 1-2 days for you using java. I don't know PHP and have no need to learn it as it is not very germane to what I do on a daily basis. If you guys want it in PHP, you will need to find another volunteer.

As I stated before the actual presentation engine in open source, so it there would be no licensing fees associated with running the system.

As to proof of purchase, I think we could simply handle (at least for tires) the flaming pretty easily, since the only way to really through off the numbers would be to enter a whole bunch of of the same tires under your name which would wind up indicating a problem to anyone who looked closely at the data.

For Version 1 of the system I would propose to only track tires as we are mostly looking for hard data such as milage. If that works well, V2 can expand into more "fuzzy" data such as helmet quality etc.
