"New" is a relative term. I bot them last year, just before STTL. I would have to dig up the receipt from Kruse to determine how many miles I have on them - I would guess 1500 to 2000. No clue on the tread depth. I still love them!

Honestly, it makes little sense to penny pinch on the part of the car that actually touches the road!

I expect these Avons to last me another 3 to 4 years at least. And that, IMHO, is very reasonable for high performance tires for a "hobby" car.

YMMV,
