Before, I rode it on Pirelli, and while I thought their tires were softer, the fact that they were softer also meant that they wore out totally in a and a half season's time (15 thousand kilometers every season). This time I went with breeches because the members of our forum had nothing but praise for their excellent resilience to wear and tear. However, it was clear as soon as I put the tire into my hands that it is well-made, long-lasting, and of a good quality. You can see how it is constructed. You have to put forth a lot of effort if you want to go through this rubber and make a clean sweep of it. During the summer I skated 12,000 miles, and if the projections hold true, it will be plenty for me to last for the next three years. After dividing the total cost by 4, we find that it is actually pretty affordable.
