I can't really complain, as I have gotten at least 50-60k km out of them so far, however I am loathe to throw them away when they have so much tread left. They really hardened up when we drove the IIA from Brisbane. The long highway km's must have evaporated the remaining plasticisers out of the rubber...

SO - has anyone tried anything like siping to make tyres grip better in the wet?

well maybe when i buy some bfg's and some new road wheels you could buy my wolf wheels and at's that are on there, but then by the time i get through with them summer will be back and you will be over the idea lol

Making tyres better in the wet - any tips???
