I've got more than 2,000 miles on my rear already and have never been able to do that with any other tire, including the Refuse.
They seem to have improved the ride. I bought a set 9 or 10 years ago when they first came out and thought they rode like iron. So I was skeptical when my buddy kept advocating them. I finally gave in, mostly because he was able to get me a set cheap, and I've been very impressed by how much suppler they are.
