Even though the tread relief has not been worn down, it enables you to move away from asphalt and down dirt roads without producing noise on a hard surface. This is possible because the tread relief is not worn out. The only visible sign of wear is the disappearance of tread material, while the side and landing portions are surprisingly resistant to both abrasion and distortion. Excellent consistency in the direction it goes. Durability is poor in comparison to brands made in Europe.
