Did you try the Stones in the 70 series. I did not even get 6000 miles out of My Stones 70. Now I understand from others that the 60 series Stone will give you much better mileage than that, but I have not personally used that particular tire in a 60. The EIII 70 series tires I have used have all given me 12,000 miles or more which is acceptable to me. I do not find the EIII to be as "slippery when wet" as others attest and "knock on wood" I have not had other issues with them either. But then again, if we all liked the same thing there would only be a need for one brand of tire.Just curious~~why did you eliminate 'Stones from your choice list? We tried several sets of E-III's and had issues with most of them. I tried the Metz and they weren't for me either, but we put the "stones" on and have lived happily ever after![]()
I haven't tried the 70 series, but on the way home from R-G 07 we delam'd an E-III, and our last one feathered out real bad at 7,000 miles. The Stones with Dynabeads have held up pretty well with zero cupping at almost 10,000. Happy so far!Did you try the Stones in the 70 series. I did not even get 6000 miles out of My Stones 70.
