Dont the new storms have "marker" treads so you can easily see if you have gone over the limit?

If you look at the tread pattern its the only bit of tread out of place.

I think!

Barwel has dyslexia. Does it make him less intelligent in any way?

Granted, poor spelling and grammar may be irritating to some, but at least the point comes across, and not nearly as irritating as a contribution pointing out such faults.

Before we start down the spell check route, 'tire' wouldn't flag as a mistake.

Back on topic - cold, wet, slow riding, 1k miles I think you'll be okay, but I suppose it depends on your perception of slow.
