Tread wear, bulges and year-round use Posted by ChuckD [Email] (#2127) [Profile/Gallery] (more from ChuckD) on Mon, 1 Jan 2007 19:50:55 In Reply to: Nokian WR tread life?, Eiron, Sun, 31 Dec 2006 07:37:50 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Coupla things in the replies I wanted to respond to:
We use them (WR's) on both our 9-3SE and 9-5 Aero and have for several years. I wouldn't use anything else. I run them year round because their wet surface performance is as superb as their snow performance. We've gotten 35K+ miles out of them. I usually replace them at that point (shooting for fall season) because the snow performance is the first to drop off, and that's pretty important to us. They're still quite a ways from illegal at that point.
I had only one experience with a bulge and I'm pretty sure it happened when I took a turn too tight and bumped a curb hidden by a snow bank. I have seen no defects in 16 tires (and when I take them to the local tire shop for mounting, much ooo'ing and ahhh'ing ensues).
