firestone 700X16 wore out

[12Bravo]

12,112 mile in two years and wore out running 30 PSI .Time for a new set.

I'm curious on the 30 psi. I drive mine as much as possible and keep the tires around 25 psi. They seem to be wearing well at that pressure.

Had the ROPS in it and tires were wearing quick at 25 PSI. Half wore out in a year, took the ROPS out and bumped them up to 30 to try to get longer life. I put that 12.000 mile on it in almost two years to the day of installing the new tires. I had a M38 with a 225 Buick in it with a T14 trans and 3:73 gears years ago. Was a pipefitter on the road and would wear two sets of Coopers out a year running 60 MPH down the interstate. So i guess 12.000 mile isn't bad.

When you look at the actual amount of rubber touching the road at any given time you can see why they don't last long. Plus I am sure they are using a soft compound so you have any traction at all on the road. I would get civvy tires if I were doing that much road driving, just for the safety factor alone!
