Not sure what you’re reading but I originally posted that I get around 10,000 miles on a set of tires. You responded that you were surprised that I get that much use out of the tires and posted the type of riding and the roads you ride on. I responded about the roads I ride on and the fact that my 153 pound weight probably helps with the the longevity of the tires. You responded that tires do not wear in a linear manner with extra weight. I responded that I disagreed. Now you’re agreeing with me.
