    Bought these Tires about 3 weeks ago,
    They are showing harldy any signs of wear .
    At this rate I should get the next 3/4 years out of them. (maybe longer)
    Highly recommended

    Can't imagine what wear they should show in 3 weeks, unless your drifting or ****.

    I measured my Vredsteins before heading to France in June. 4500km later and they measured 0.1mm less. Good roads make all the difference.

    I found if you left the plastic on them it gives you a few more miles. I left the plastic on the last set and i got around 1k more. The stickers however slow you down.

    Good tip,
    As you can see I've lost the plastic off two of them. :(
    I might rotate them in a few months and put the two with the plastic on top of the pile.
    Might even out the wear.

    I suppose I could drop into advance pitstop tomorrow and see if they have any spare plastic wrap.
