When I wrote that about my tires, it was my Blackline and yep, it was 15,000 miles between tire changes.

On my Breakout, I'm see too much wear after 2,000. And that's worrying me.

Yeah, there is no way that dude is getting 15k out of tires.

I could see 15k out of a front tire, but the rear, no way. Unless you ran it until it wore through to the tube.

I just put on some American Elites. They now have the WWW I need & I hope to get more mileage.
They are taller than the 402s,my jack, that I usually have to force under, now slides right under.
