I can't tell you about drivers, but I can tell you that Pennsylvania has the worst roads in the nation. The rest of the country subsidizes us on tires because we are fortunate to get about half the miles out of the manufacturer's warranty.
Crappy brands like Dunlop, rated for 40,000 miles, will typically get you 20K. Good brands like Michelin or Yokohama rated for 80K will typically get you 40K.

I haven’t been to Pennsylvania since 2009, but I don’t recall the roads being an issue, perhaps because I live in Massachusetts. Our roads are full of potholes.

Yes on that! Matched only by Southfield, Michigan in my experience, and that is not the whole state.

I remember being in a shuttle van going from PIT airport to the hotel via the freeway. Hit a huge pothole at freeway speed; folded the front wheel nicely under the van.

Indeed.
Case in point, I -70.
A narrow, potholed, crumbling mess (it’s the weather! It’s the topography! It’s...) til you get to WV line. Smooth. Wider. Same at OH line. Because the weather is SO different in that tiny section across WV into OH.
Then there is US 30....
We HAVE to drive defensively or end up w/a blown tire on just about any trip.

“I can’t tell you about drivers, but I can tell you that Pennsylvania has the worst roads in the nation.”
You should have driven I-40 through Arkansas during the 90’s and later.
Whenever I made that run I would take my clothes and put them on the bunk. On top of the clothes I would put my microwave, tv and DVD player and strap them in with the safety net.
The ratchet strap that normally held them in place didn’t stand a chance against Slick Williams interstate.
I would also take an extra ratchet strap and use it to keep the fridge closed.
When I got out of the state I would put everything back where it was supposed to be.
PA roads were a peach compared to Arkansas.

I can tell you that Pennsylvania has the worst roads in the nation. I haven't been there for a while but I used to sometimes drive on a highway from New York to Pennsylvania and you didn't have to read a sign to notice where the state line was.

Pennsylvania is the only state that has a pothole as a tourist attraction.
