I just did one too in NY, and it was the nail in the coffin for my PR3s. The rear was so well worn it had casing showing through all over when I finished. At the start of the ride there was only one tiny spot. It is the first tire I've had that couldn't last an entire season, but they were really good while in use. I'm trying out the 4000S now and so far its a more supple comfortable tire. But when you choose lightweight performance tires like these, less life is what you get.
