I don't actually disagree. 4/32=3mm. That to me is really low tread depth. I tend to change them closer to 5mm (most start off at 8.3mm, even performance - I was surprised to find michelin PSS and xice start at the same tread depth!)...
so yeah, you get a short lifespan. I got 2 years and maybe 12-15k out PSS. They are <5mm now and wearing worse on 1 edge so time to replace. Still, I liked them a lot. I'm ok with fast treadwear, but I'm pretty sure the re970as won't wear quite *that* fast. I know that is not everyone's cup of tea though!
