This is why I have zero neros on my TT and allroad! My winter tires seemed to be holding up better
than the zero rossos on the allroad and I couldn't stand the noise when the old RE040s got thin. Went for 400 tread wear rating and am happy so far.

Got 26K out of mine. Had 1/8" tread left but -->
a steel blade destroyed one tire and had to get 4 tires immediately. They had became noisy in last 5K. Stock susp running various pressures 36/36 to 40/39psi, settling finally at 38/36. No track stuff but a lot of interstate trips averaging 80-90mph. Still nowhere near as noisy as these Falken fk451's with only 3K miles on them!!!!! Will never buy 451's again, but would easily return to S03's or try another hipo tire which is also exc't in rain.

got mine mounted and an alignment yesterday. Only drove about 20...
miles on them on the way home, in heavy traffic but when I got on my county road, I was pretty impressed with how they felt. Can't wait to get them broken in. I think these are gonna be great!

How ya been Dave?
Looks like these will go 20K for sure..
Sorry about the Falkens....I hate noisy tires...I had to throw away my Kuhmos at 15K for that reason
