I just replaced the rear tire. Lasted 8 months, I don't know how many miles, around three thousand, I think. Tire still was perfectly serviceable but very flat-spotted. About half the tread gone in the center but still 3-4mm from wear bars. The tread is very deep. The front looks good, I have a new one set aside but should be able to get another 1000 miles or so from it.
The rear would have lasted longer but I ran lower pressures for a while, around 37 psi. Really ate it up on the freeway. I found max pressures are good with these tires so this one will be 42 psi all the time. Should help extend the useful life. Very satisfied, rode in the rain the other day just to test them (unusual around here), winding roads, freeway, urban, grip was very good, outstanding in the dry.
