The tread starts delaminating. The sidewalls (where the XR would wear out) continue to look pretty good.

Mileage depends on total load, surfaces, and width of tire. Chipseal that experiences freeze/thaw cycles really seems to wear down the softer Supreme / Extreme / Dureme compound (versus XR).

BTW, Wallbike still shows an inventory of 37-622 XR's.
