I know with my JB blues the sidewalls gave out before the tread. My greens have held up surprisingly well. I've tried to save them for events and riding on smooth roads. I replaced one after it just became really cut up and flatting frequently. I've been really fond of Schwalbes lately but have to admit that when I ride my rando bike, which is sporting JB greens, there the ride is much smoother and the bike feels faster. There's a lot of variables that figure into the equation but still, the greens are nice.
I don't ride with a computer so I don't really know the total mileage I got out of the greens. I got a super randonneur series and training rides out of a set last year. I have no idea on the mileage. That doesn't really answer your question though. I guess, if you like them and it's not breaking the bank to use them, keep with them and rotate them as recommended by Sheldon. --mike On Aug 14, 1:52 pm, Dave Faller <davefaller...@gmail.com> wrote: > My JBs have about 3k on them.
