Tires (185/65 R14) wear down really quickly, at least in my experience. The tires I got in the spring of last year had already put on roughly 20,000 kilometers. and there is hardly any footprints to be seen, making today the ideal time to go. After a month of use, the wheels changed color to a bright red. The rubber is fine; I think I stumbled into a wedding because it is manufactured at a Hong Kong company. and in our production facilities as well.
