Tyres are one thing that i would never skimp on; not everyone's choice, but it is mine.

treadwear rating is 400, which is higher than the p-zeros, and contis. You also have to have it aligned so that the toe and camber settings are putting the tyre flat on the surface. That is how I got as many miles as I have out of them. I also go off-roading with the WRG3 tyres on Cape Cod beach, logging trails, and RI beaches. They do well off road, and on road. They aren't 100% " ultra performance tyres. " but they are the best of both worlds. Esp for someone like me that lives in 4 real season weather ranging from -20+F to +110F weather or dealing with spring rains or the 9' of snow we received this year.

I can't stand or sometimes don't have the time/patients to deal with the cold season to warm season tyre swapping process twice a year, and having space to store the 4 somewhere, the Nokian WRG3 tyres are perfect.
