The best way to go with these tires is to have them on another set of rims if possible, that is the best way to purchase them from the Tire Rack. I install them usually a week before it snows, mid November or so. I remove them around April. Use them as little as possible on the roads, the rubber is very soft. If used in winter only, you should get 5 or 6 winters out of them. Which may be 25K? After that they are worn down 60%, which turns them into only a regular all season tire. Throw them away after that. See ya. Michael 87 syncro 87 quattro |
