    This is a Michelin x-one grip with 200,000 miles on it.
    How long are these supposed to last?
    How many miles do you get from duals?
    I also have 2 energy savers (what they had when recaps blew up) that are not lasting as long.
    I'm just shocked these have this much tread at 200k?

    Yeah they wear great don't have to worry about mismatched tire pressure or Tread depth. Got almost 300k out of Michelins that were still legal when changed.

    I've got one of those used because I had a super single pick up a nail in a lumber yard and I'm very impressed with how beefy it's been. Not surprised they are getting that much milage.

    I got 325k out of my Michelin X one Super singles. They start to wear uneven at the end. Then I got yokos and lost close to 0.8 mpg

    My energy are wearing out WAY faster than the grip. I am down to 6 on the energy I changed AFTER the grip in the photo.
    I will only be doing grips from now on.

    The Multi Energy are good also. Made for regional and local applications with lots of scrubbing.

    I’ve got about 170k on my Bridgestone 726 ela, still legal but probably 6/32, will be changed before winter, we have been having decent luck with kumhos lately

    Always 80-100k with a bit of local in there
     
    D.Tibbitt Thanks this.
