Can't remember. I use them for my daily drivers though and I think I get about 18 months out of them (20,000 miles ish).

I don't use them all year round though. The tread isn't great in wet weather - particularly when they are worn. I have a second set of rims with M+S for rain and snow weather.

Glen,
Agundis Tires in South City (Victory Ave.). They do a good job and good prices.

Thanks Rob, I'll swing over there later, right now I'm chewing up my autox Neovas going to work and back They are a lot of fun on the streets though

Just got off the phone with a guy called Joe, he'll dismount the old tires, fit and balance the new tires and dispose of the old tires for $20 a corner. Pretty good deal seeing as it's 2 miles from work.

I had fun today wearing off the greasy layer that comes on new tires....

I've gotta say though, even though they are the same treadwear rating as my Neova AD07s, they're definately not as grippy...they feel the same as my Bridgestone S-03s. Maybe they will improve when I get towards the 'sweet spot' in the middle third of the tread.

Either way they were a steal for $520 ($430 for the tires and $90 for the fitting and balancing). I wish I had bought 4 sets at that price but by the time the old ball and chain gave me permission for 4 sets they were sold out....
