Any long term reviews on tread life?

I have 6500 miles on mine just had them rotated and tread depth has gone down 2/32" inch evenly across the tires and the same on all 4. So I would think they will go to at least 40000 miles. They are a great tire in my opinion, based on the fact they are three ply sidewall tires, great offroad, and on road wear seems great. All that for less than half what I paid for mickey Thompsons baja mtz' s.

I still have less than 1,000 miles on mine, but in every review I've read, people typically start noticing wear on their tires tires between 4,000 miles and 6,000. Typically that is every day driving on pavement when it is hot, which softens the rubber. These are a Mud and Snow tire, that are rated at 8,000 pounds per tire at 80 psi, and those that have used them for mud and snow have got over 30,000 miles on these tires.

Tread starts out at 18/32s and i drive it every day for probably 8 months now and they are 17/32 and 16/32s

I have had mine for 6 months and except for a little they are just like the day I bought them, great traction off road too!!

I am not sure, but I think mkw is correct. I believe the natural rubber eventually breaks down. The Prolite has a lifetime guarantee.

I have been rolling with Conti Gatorskins and these tubes since January, and we have loads of goat head thorns (Denver, CO). I haven't had a single flat with this combination. Last year, on typical specialized racing slicks and standard tubes, I'd have a flat about once every two weeks. So, while I'm reluctant to say *anything* is proof against goat heads (I once had one of these babies puncture my hiking boot sole), this has been a great option for me.

Knobbies create rolling resistance and not ideal unless you are truly off-roading. I am on my second set of Schwalbe Marathon Plus tires for my Xtracycle which is used primarily for running to the grocery store, picking up the kids at school, local errands, weekend jaunts, camping trips, etc. They roll exceptionally well and have outstanding grip on pavement. I rode the first set for nearly 3 years and 4000+ miles; the side walls are strong and can withstand the daily abuse of 300 pounds between me, the kids and groceries. They are very strong, durable and reliable tires. I don't carry a pump, patches, tools or tubes because I know I won't get a flat. At the end of life for the tires, that's when the blue puncture stuff is showing, I inspected the tires and realized they withstood massive amounts of debris, there were little cuts around the entire surface, I suspect that was all the glass, nails, etc. that I ride through daily but still no flats. Amazing how well they hold up, best tires I ever owned. They are okay on packed gravel too. I take the kids backcountry camping on the back of the Xtracycle with all the gear and the tires do well on the trail. I'll be riding these for many years, very happy with them.

I found it on amazon. Never heard of it before, read the ingridients and looked like a good deal, it lasted me for about 6+months

Still have reasonable good tread on my 4x4 ranger at 30K and I do power take off a lot. That may sound like a low mileage, but they are the originals on my 2005 and starting to dry rot. So I am looking to replace them before next winter. I just wish I could find Steel rims 16 inch because the Aluminum are a pain in the cold extremes with losing tire pressure.

I just bought my second set. Got 50,000 miles on the first set, and they still have tread, the UV was starting to break down the sidewalls enough that they were leaking air.

I have a love/hate relationship with Rotadent. Love the product, hate the manufacturer. I put up with the sometimes shoddy life expectancy of the brushes and instrument because I believe I get results and justify the aggravation by thinking I ultimately save in dental bills. I keep one in both my houses ( one overseas) and have gone through 4 or 5 of them. 2 to 3 years being the average life. If you believe there is a similar or better product out there drop these guys like bad habit or live with the grief.

I did search out your post (Ryuji Suzuki), and think it adds to the discussion; http://www.amazon.com/gp/cdp/member-reviews/AYCAIHABPYWVJ?ie=UTF8&display;=public&sort;_by=MostRecentReview&page;=5 . Since my grocery outlet no name model lasted a month of daily use, I'm ready to search out a long lasting model. Cheers

I would say it's excellent in that regard. The deck has a slight flexibility with your foot fall, and I find it very comfortable to run on for extended periods. Over the years we have had several treadmills, and we agree this LifeSpan TR 1200i is the best we have ever owned. I can't see any downside to this equipment. However, you should know that the on-off toggle switch is located at floor level on the front of the treadmill necessitating a stretch to turn it on and off. Not a problem for me...still, the switch could have been located on the 'dashboard' for ease of use. This is an excellent treadmill. 5 star recommendation here.

I have them on my 2007 Suburban and really like them. I have close to 40,000 miles on them and they still have good tread. The vehicle handles well with these tires to.

I use lifesmart 3 at a time thru the house, buy them on sale, throw them away when worn out. Run them 7/24 from dec to march.usually they last about 3 years.cant ask for more than that.

I didn't get much life out of it. The paint lasted maybe a month before natural foot traffic faded its use. I was going to try tape, but that would leave a sticky residue when removed. A friend finally told me about aluminum treads by Handi-Ramp. This is what I bought: B005PPZXE8

I'll go J. Hamit one better -- I'm around 300 pounds, and still walking, not running, but this treadmill copes with me with absolutely no problems. I've used mine for over a year now, and I'd say go for it -- this is not one of the "cheapies". Do get the extended warranty; this advice from one of the people who worked on my previous Sears LifeStyler under maintenance contract (it lasted for 10 years; the Bowflex was my Christmas present to me 16 months ago, and the Sears one was sold to a member of my favorite church for $300 -- which the church got). Good Luck Treading!

I can't say since I've never tried the slicks. Since I ride all year round I wanted some tread to handle any wet weather and packed gravel terrain. The Vitoria website has a matrix for their tire varieties that shows the strengths and weaknesses of their line.

I used one for 15 months or so.... never had wear problems at all. Really enjoyed the wired one. Not so much the wireless. I was disappointed with their support. Went to all Razer products. That said the wired version was excellent quality and is still on my shelf as a backup to my Razer Ouroboros.
