We've well established these tires are expensive... To clarify my original statement - my buddy got 28k miles on the first set and he's 10k miles thus far on the second.

Ah well that helps explain things a bit more. That's quite a bit better. 28k isn't bad.

These tire are expensive due to limited production and uniqueness. I would not compare this to a generics radial tires. My only reason was to improve the ride and handling along with a retro look.


Dan thanks for the clarification on baseline for tire wear. 28k mileage is better than expected.
