There are LOTS of definitions of "Off Road"... what is yours?


Thanks,
Chris
-------------------------------
I'm running 185/14r Agilis 61 tires.
I have 12,000 miles on them with about 2000 of that off road on Oil
Field, rough loose gravel and compacted but sharp rock roads. The tires
show no wear at all.
In the past I've been able to total a set of regular Michlein tires in
200 miles of these roads (8 trips) or 10,000 miles combined. The failures
are always tread separation a few miles before they fail in pairs.
Michlein Warranty has been giving me new tires for 8 years at 10,000 mile
intervals for $48.00 the set of 4 mounted and balanced. Thats about 12
sets of tires before I got the Agilis 61s for $132.00 the set adjusted
price mounted and balanced.
