Replacement Performance Tires (was: flat tire)

[TM]

The MX have something like a treadwear of 220, IIRC, so you're looking
at maybe 20-30k mileage, depending on how you drive.

I'd rather replace tires every two to three years than lose traction
which affects braking and handling signficantly.

Nice!  I just checked them out.  What kind of mileage can be expected?
My CQ is a daily driver and I'd rather not put a set on every year.  The
712 is definitely not sticky but it does hold up.
