This is important around here since we've already had snow (last week)! They said that the reason these tires are so good is the very soft compound they're made off. The soft compound also means that they don't last too long. They also said 10,000 miles would be about the most you could get on them. You do not want to use them on dry pavement! No personal experience, I still have the Aqua-treads that were on the Syncro when I got it. SSG Brad Spear 1972 Westfalia 1987 Syncro GL
