Count yourself lucky then - my experience has been the total opposite.

Esp. on my motorcycle, which has a larger difference between new and worn diameters and wears a lot quicker - 5000-6000 miles from new to worn out!

The math on this is pretty murky, as the actual effective rolling diameter is dependant on tyre brand, sidewall construction, inflation pressure, temperature, vehicle load.... the list goes on. ;-)

Back to the regular scheduled thread subject.... ;-)
