Yes, that is what I am speaking of when I referring to the failure
mode: a bulge that eventually will not go under the brake bridge
anymore. This has happened to all the rears that I have mounted.
None have lasted longer than 1200 miles. The fronts don't last that
much longer. This is mostly

Just to add my $0.02, I run the Grand Bois Cypress on my Riv and I
only get about 1K on each rear tire. Failure mode seems to be a large
bulge in the tire that eventually contacts the brake bridge. Despite
this, I love these tires!
I do not rotate tires, I just replace the bad one.

In the good old
days I could grind up a Specilizied Turbo S in less than 1K miles on the
rear, with plenty of flats. As they say, your mileage may vary.
Mine does, I guess: 200 gram Specialized 559 Turbos had 1500 (front and
rear) when I
Oh, and fwiw, I got 3500 miles out of a rear 571X23 Conti Grand Prix.

I'm riding on Panaracer Col De La Vie 650B Randonee tires with about

3K is pretty darn good in my book. I check my tires frequently for
wear and picking out bits that are stuck in them. When I start to see
cracks that's my indicator that a new tire is needed, and I almost
never get a flat. My last flat was about 3 years ago - a tedious
experience that I do not
Not sure about total miles, but I've picked up two flats in about the
last 1000 on my Col de la Vie's. Not particularly bad considering the
inner-city commuter route the tires see daily, which has it's share of
broken glass and construction sites, and the trail stuff on weekends.
Probably going
I run my tires right down to the cord! I typically get 5+ thousand
miles from a set of 700c road tires; some tires seem to last much
longer than others. I don't replace them when I start seeing the
small cracks that typically occur. I have had a couple where the

I am not answering your question here, but wanted to go on a bit about
how much I like these tires. I splurged and bought a pair of 650A for
my old 1966 era 3 speed. This bike is my bad weather, take anything,
commuter and upright townie. I had been running cheap Kenda tires for
years. The Col de
