A manual tyre machine was one of the best things i ever purchased, even got the cheap tracteur back tyres on.. Buy all ours on line.. In France they expect you to change pairs in garages But like every thing else, it isn't as good as olde days Sent from my ART-L29 using Tapatalk
I think the risk to buying high end tyres nowadays is the likelihood of damage from potholes and general debris that gets left lying around on roads, regardless of actual longevity.
I just changed all 4 of my Goodyear tires after 30,000 +miles as inner part of tire was worn - not bad really
