A complete pair of these tires has been used up and thrown away. They put forth a lot of time plowing—three full seasons, about half a year. Commonplace for operations to be quiet, asphalt, and primer. Tires are not frightened of off-roading because of the robust rubber, which also resisted numerous attempts to cause a hernia. Keeping everything in check has never been an issue. There is noise, but if everything else is fine, you can get used to it. It worked for me.
