M/T Drag radial life expectancy 4yrs/10k +
I mounted my first set of 325-50-15 M/T’s on 5-15-2005. As I recall, the car had about 25-26k miles on the odometer. For those that don’t know me, I drive the carp out of this car at every chance I get. The local canyon, lots of street, no track days yet, but I will on this set, I swear!
Anyway, at long last, they reached the end of there lives.
On 6-22-2009 with 37,304 miles on the clock, I mounted a new set. They still held air and drove perfectly, but both tires had a ½ inch by 2-3inch stripe of cord showing, dead in the center, so they had to go.
They did everything I could have asked and more. They never got hard and they even worked without complaint in a (light) rain.
4 years and over 10000 miles out of a tire that offers this much traction is amazing and gets a 10/10 in my book.
I thought everybody should know.
