[QUOTE="Schwepps, post: 355351, member: 3592"] Same here. 140 is very, very low threadwear rating, and I thought they would last less than a year. But I measured the thread depth myself yesterday, and still have 8mm in the fronts. Not bad... I also thought 140 and yet only A traction? Yukk! But bear in mind that these ratings are done by the manufacturers themselves based on DOT guidelines, so it's more useful to compare ratings within a manufacturer's range than across manufacturers. 220 is a good balance between too soft and too hard. There are some that go above 400. :rolleyes: [/QUOTE]
