Original tires went 40K and gave good service. The third set of tires were also Conti reinforced tires, and were terrible.After three tread separations over 20K, Discount Tire gave me a full credit toward a set of Michelin XCH4s (apparently no longer available in our size). This has been a while ago, and may not apply to the tires Conti produces now, but I don't think I would buy them again.
