Default Outstanding Tread Wear

30,000 miles ago I bought 2 sets of Blizzacks (265/35/19s) V rated "Winter Tires" when Tire Rack was dumping them for about $100 each......since I'm cheap & rarely take the car over 149 mph....I figured it would be OK. They still have a full 6 32nds depth left!!!!!!!!.....If I keep this first set on till there is 2 32nds left......that means (since they start out with 11 32nds).....they are lasting 54,000 miles!!! They are wearing evenly across & still have deep sipes showing. I ave over 25 mpg & love the way they feel.

In another year and a half or so.......I'll put the 2nd set (stored in the basement) on the car.

Never dreamed a "snowflake tire" could last this long driving them year-round.


Laugh if you like.
