they wear pretty well such as 13K miles and 2/3 tread left(driven easily). Is this anywere close to what you guys have been getting. Thanks a lot.

Default I've only lost 2/32" of tread in 10k miles.

Looks like I could make it to 30k miles and still have 4/32" left for snow travel.

Default I lost about the same for about the same mileage,

not bad for a winter tire, but I always took them off before it warmed up....and always went on in late Oct.

Just keep in mind that one they are at 50% wear, they are more like All-seasons than a snow tire.
